Title: Overcooked and not very tasty...
Product review: This book is science fiction so I shouldn't be too hard on it but the premise is weak. I love a good post-apocalyptic story but this wasn't very satisfying. The world has been dead for at least 4 or 5 years but yet there are still people wandering around it occasionally eating each other. A nameless father and son team survives day to day by somehow finding food in places where they are always found by others (so why didn't the others find the food first?). The man tries to convince himself that they are the good guys, but in the end, while not cold blooded murders, they are strictly out for themselves. The extremes are too obvious, the setting too unrealistic and unexplained, and finally the ending too inconsistent with everything else in the book.Luckily this book is a very quick read and I'm glad I didn't spend the money to rush out and see the movie.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
