Throughout the entire story, there is this underlying feeling that men are bad, with constant referrals to how men start all wars, it’s the man that ignored the woman’s advice that could have avoided all of this at the start, there is the immune male who just happens to be abusive (in a community of abusive males, before the rest die), and so on and so on. However, there are multiple problems with the characters, as well as with how the story is told. This could have been a really great story, it is written with multiple characters, in a testimonial style point of view (similar to that of World War Z), and mostly from the point of view of Female characters as nearly all the men in the world are dead. This is a post-apocalyptic style story in which a virus springs up, and strikes down only the evil, sorry, the Male part of the population. listening to her whining the majority of the way throughout the book was PAINFUL! I stuck with it because I hoped she would grow somehow throughout the book, but alas, she remains a selfish brat throughout the entire book, she is WOEFUL and unfortunately, ruined it for me.Ĭould have been good, but was very disappointing. For me the most irritating part of the book was the character Catherine a self involved, sulky, selfish, horrible human. even a simple google search would have produced information required (a fever of 38.8 mild? in reality in most health systems it would initiate a sepsis pathway). The author could have done more research into the medical aspects, so much is really, really incorrect. The narration was excellent and I would listen to any of the narrators again. The concept is interesting, it’s written much like World War Z where you are predominantly listening to accounts of the characters experiences rather than being led through a story in real time. I was looking forward to reading this book with all the rave reviews but unfortunately I was disappointed. Great narration, otherwise disappointing.
