Review title: A premise with promise
Product review: I didn't feel as if the promise were kept, however. The story is told in flashbacks by the last human on earth, as he lives among our species's successors. The gentle, peaceful people of the new world resemble Eloi without the Morlocks in the shadows. Unfortunately, happy and peaceful people don't make good drama. There was plenty of dramatic potential in the story that led up to that point: in the actions that ended the human world, in the conspiracy leading to those actions, or in the personality capable of them. Instead, the world ends not with a bang or a whimper, but with a cheerful purring sound.Perhaps personalities with clearer strengths and weaknesses could have carried through the low-key action, or vice versa. I could imagine all the same elements being used to tell a similar story, but one that I'd find a lot more engaging. At least this didn't come across like some do, as a story with no ending. Instead, it seems more like an ending with no story.-- wiredweird
