Review:
I was so close to DNFing this book. However I read the 3 star reviews and then general consensus was that it would make sense.
Throughout the entire book I wondered did the author have classes on how to write from the writers of Lost.
I must say that the narrating of the file names was rather annoying. Around 86% in we start to find out the truth & while I should have expected it, it wasn't what I thought - yet it makes complete sense.
If anything this book taught me to read reviews (3 stars & below) if I want to read the book, yet want to DNF it.
Goodreads Description:
A computer program etched into the atmosphere has a story to tell, the story of two people, of a city lost to chaos, of survival and love. The program's data, however, has been corrupted. As the novel's characters struggle to survive apocalypse, they are sustained and challenged by the demands of love in a shattered world both haunted and dangerous.
