I usually do not read post-apocalyptic books but the description of this one intrigued me somehow. I did enjoy it a lot, though the format is very different and i am not sure it would work on other books (just indirect speech, some sentences are more like thoughts and jumbled together). I did not know what i expected this book to be so maybe that was a good thing since it ended pretty anticlimatic i think. It did have an overall arc of someone living in a 'different' world and trying to find his way, finding a meaning for him and trying to keep 'living'. I liked the sadness overall, the brutal things they have to do to survive and the small parts of hope and, as i said, the writing style was very weird but worked very well for this book.I might come back and edit this since i just finished it and probably need some time to think about it.
