Negative Positive
Title: Who knew the apocalypse could be so boring?
Review: The narrative has no sense of pace. It just plods on from event to event, told in mechanical prose. We went here and this happened. Then we went there and that happened. No building of dramatic tension, little development of theme or character progression. A flat recording of events.Odd that the novel posits a new religion but draws its title and its ending quote not from the new scriptures written by the protagonist but from the Bible, which the protagonist says she doesn't believe. The chapter headings are drawn from the protagonist's new scriptures, so why isn't the novel's end-note?
Is the review positive or negative?
