If I could return this, I would. I got about a third of the way through this book but I completely lost interest in it. I realized this just isn’t worth the mental calories to complete it. Frequently, I blast through apocalyptic genre novels within a couple of days enjoying the tale and caring about what happens. Not here. This one could not hold my attention. The story is not so bad, it’s the narration which kills it. The monotone voice with virtually no distinction between characters make this story just a run-on mess. Plodding, lifeless narration can really crush one’s interest to the point where I could not track nor did I find myself caring about the characters. The thought of surviving 11 hours of this was like eating the nth piece of pizza where it makes you feel kinda ill. It really pegged the boredometer for me.
