Title: The emperor has no clothes
Product review: This novel was certainly intriguing, had a great sense of style accompanied with some very creative elements. What it lacked was any substance what-so-ever to warrant anything beyond a short story. Actually, it is a great short story, told over and over again about 20 times. And don't hold out for a powerful ending which will make the read worthwhile. You could rip all the pages out of this book, randomly order them, and read it again and it would be no different than the original. Every day is the same, told over and over again. Boy and man awake in an post-apocalyptic wasteland, push a cart along a road through the ash, come upon an abandoned farm house, get enough supplies to survive a few more days, then continue wandering. Occasionally they come upon someone who tries to kill them but they escape. Sometimes they eat peaches, other times okra. Sometimes it rains, sometimes it snows. Sometimes there's a comma, never there's a quotation mark.
