__Station Eleven_ by Emily St. John Mandel
This book hit the popularity scale a couple of years ago, but I have been a bit slow with reading what is popular. Mostly I have been reading from the AWN Book Club list, but as I was away on holiday, I thought that I would expand. π
It is an interesting story of a pandemic that basically ends the world as we know it. A few manage to survive the Georgia Flu and the story revolves around a few central characters both before and after the Flu hits the world.
Although it has hints of Atwood and other dystopic worlds, I felt as if whatever message was trying to be relayed did not quite get there. Or maybe I just somehow missed it…?
Anyway, I do see why it was popular, and am glad that I finally managed to read it. I recommend it as a better than a usual trash novel holiday read, but not necessarily intellectually challenging… π
