This book is so incredibly boring.
I bought it because it has good reviews, because a LOT of people loved it, because it won an award...
I could not care less about the vapid, rich Hollywood types in the endless flashbacks. I wanted something, anything to happen. I wanted people wandering the apocalyptic wasteland to find something, to do something.
Nothing happens.
I got a good third of the way through the book and was skipping paragraphs, hoping for something more than a divorced actor and boarded up McDonalds and IHOPS.
The writing isn't even that good. I'd go so far as calling it bland. I'd even use the word prosaic.
Most of the dialogue consists of the adults telling newcomers that electricity and television were a thing that existed.
I gave up. Sorry, readers. I just didn't see what you saw in it.
