Obra maestra postapocalíptica. ¡No te la pierdas!

Post-apocalyptic novel written by someone with zero understanding of biology, sociology or psychology.

How this can pass as a classic of the genre is beyond me, even despite it's age. Very badly written, very cliche and flat characters. The main character is barely human and acts like an autist without feelings. Nothing makes any sense.

Might have passed as interesting 50 years ago, but aged very badly. Probably only remembered because it was one of the first "virus-apocalypse" novels.

1.5 / 5. ( )

SF

A fascinating post-apocalyptic novel that takes place primarily in Northern California. ( )

Classic Post-Apocalyptic Fiction.

I really enjoyed it. It holds up really well.

I liked the parts that talk about what is happening in nature, to the dogs, the cats, the cities. It reminded me of the world with out man video I saw. ( )
