![]() ![]() I only bother to write reviews (beyond just stars) for books I find exceptionally good or bad. IĪ Great Dystopian Future Book, Well Narrated! But her unique voice has to "fit" the book. Angela Dawe can be one of my favorite narrators. The protagonist, a former OB/GYN nurse in a hospital encounters a wide variety of survivors and keeps a detailed diary of her life in the post-disease world. And the women that do survive the disease, don't seem to survive childbirth. This is a post infectious disease world, where very few men and even fewer women and children survive. So many books depend on continual pending disaster. The other characteristic that really stood out was that the plot didn't depend on putting the main character in imminent danger over and over again, as a way to move the plot. ![]() Unfortunately most of them don't end up well. The story was fascinating, and as another reviewer stated, one of the best things about the story is the author tells you how the characters the protagonist meets along the way, actually end up. If not for the writer's tic of overusing "something = something", I would have given it a perfect 5 stars. ![]() In spite of my headline, I really enjoyed this book. ![]()
