A review by burningupasun
Malorie by Josh Malerman

3.0

Hm. 3.5 stars. It was pretty good. But I was frustrated by Tom (Malorie's son). I get that he's a rebellious teenager, but I think the book misses out by not having a scene with him and his Mom at the end. He spends the whole book going on and on about how wrong she is, but the truth is they're both right and wrong. It would have felt better to me, if he had a talk with her about that at the end. If he realized she was right, in some ways, and she kept them alive.

Spoiler

Instead, his invention turns out to work, and he never addresses with her that it might not have, never acknowledges the tons and tons of bodies Olympia and Malorie see on the way in, of people who tried what he did and failed.

IDK. It ruined the ending for me, which was kind of ridiculously rushed on it's own as it is.
