I did not particularly like this book. I can understand why some do, because it is a unique premise. It reminded me of "The Road" by Cormac McCarthy, which I did not particularly like either, in that it is an apocalyptic-type tale written strangely with no quotation and rambling sentences where you weren't always sure who was speaking. None of the characters are named-they are referred to as the first blind man, the woman with insomnia, the doctor's wife, etc. While it was interesting, perhaps it was too realistic for me, with details that often sickened me. Those with stronger stomachs and psyches can probably appreciate the exploration of society and our humanity, but not I.
