What did you like the most and/or least?
What is grief, if not love persevering?
Grief is just love with no place to go.

I disliked the Prophet's character the most. Killing people in an already devastated society made no sense to me but his "insanity" was part of the point of his character. I just hated that Arthur's sons fate was so terrible.

That's great. From time to time, we should all try to take away things from our livesGravy wrote:I liked that the author tried to show the consequences of life without modern medicine.
and see how we do. Cut down on expenses, cut down on fuel, cut down on travel,
cut down on apparel, etc. That way, the opinions that we have formed ourselves that
'oh i can't live without this', 'oh i can't live without that', will all fall off, and we will
really come to know what we cannot really live without!
I feel many of things that we have are superflous and not even necessary for our lives.
It's just that we have built them as 'feel good' factors so that the 'society' thinks 'good'
about us!

I also liked this part. The airport chapters were my favorite. I wish we got more background information on all the characters. I felt like a lot of the story lines were incomplete and left many things unexplained.peprica21 wrote:I really enjoyed reading about how humanity rebuild lives, homes, and communities after the collapse. The community living in the airport and the progression from raiding the taco place to making a true home inside the airport was my favorite parts to read.

I never thought about it, but I think you're very right. I think I'm definitely going to try that one day.va2016 wrote:That's great.

I did like the emphasis on people trying to rebuild their lives and look for remnants of the past. I also appreciated having one of the main characters being an older gay man.
