Não conhecia a autora desse livro, e antes de começar a ler só sabia que na história acontece uma pandemia que mata uma boa parte da população do mundo.

O livro já capturou minha atenção no primeiro capítulo e a partir daí mantém o ritmo bom. Não que avance a história sem parar, na verdade a autora vai contar a história fazendo saltos no tempo, entre o antes da pandemia e o depois, e a narração acompanha acontecimentos nas vidas de algumas pessoas, cujas histórias acabam se cruzando em vários momentos.

Além desses saltos de tempo e ponto de vista, há outras características comuns na literatura contemporânea, como as menções a cultura pop que as personagens vão trazendo quando relembram o passado ou encontram objetos antigos, a história dentro da história (uma história em quadrinhos), o uso do texto em forma de entrevista em alguns pontos.

Gripping Read

5 stars

This was recommended to me and I went in knowing very little about it.

I found it to be a really gripping novel; hard to put down. I was really excited to see how the characters lives intersected and how they handled the trauma of the devastating pandemic.

The book tells the story of the characters at various stages of their lives ranging from many years before the pandemic, to around 20 years after. This gives a really interesting perspective on the characters, and keeps the pace of the book fast and interesting.

Highly recommended!

It was fine

Listened to this on audiobook, which it was pretty good for. I wasn't expecting much and therefore it met my expectations. I liked the structure of weaving together all the different storylines, it was decently well written. After a while I started getting annoyed at how useless everyone was after their tech stopped functioning, it's not like ALL knowledge disappears and suddenly people are like "huh, wow, I simply cannot fathom HOW airplanes worked?" idk.
