I post on threads about a book that made you want to throw it in the garbage can inspired me to come back and review this book I read two years ago.
This book is garbage. I had no interest in being in that awful man’s head for so long.
The only times he brings up his wife (the only mention of a woman in the entire book) he introduces her using what her breasts look like in the particular memory he’s thinking about. Even when it’s in reference to their young child.
There are much better apocalyptic/dystopian books out there. Please don’t bother and especially don’t give more money to this asshat author.
