Title: Girly-men burst into tears as they await the apocalypse
Product review: If you want to empathize with weepy girly-men as they await the apocalypse, this one's for you. This chick-lit story tells us all about every minor character's emotions, appearance, attitude and thoughts, even when they don't matter. Passive, helpless men burst into tears at the slightest excuse. Characters are acted upon, rather than act to survive. The aliens are never shown and their machines are harmless. There is no attempt by humanity to survive. Everyone just sits around singing hymns, pontificating and looking at the scenery. The suspense at the start of the novel promising so much is squandered in meandering and meaningless plot twists, none of which goes anywhere. If you are one of those who want to slip into the skin of decent, strong characters striving to survive in a world gone mad, then trySisters of Glassor early Jack Vance.
