![]() ![]() The mid section of this book really dragged as (again, personally speaking) I found the level of detail was too high, and caused some unnecessary ‘scene changes’. I personally would have liked less detail and more emotion. It could just be me, but it felt a bit ‘statement of fact’, like a series of highly detailed events. I did start to get to know the characters eventually, but I never got any real emotion or affinity with them. To be honest, the initial stages certainly left me feeling I’d not identified with any of the characters yet, and I wondered “do I care what happens?” But I persevered regardless. However, this manic scene changing continues throughout the book. The cut scenes are frantic and it all feels ever so confusing, as is fitting given the event. So, we start with a nuclear bomb detonating in NY. I will start this review with the disclaimer I read it as part of a book club, and it’s not my usual reading material. ![]()
