Review of sampler, for Netgalley.

A dystopia story with a different kind of narrator.
Population decline with no explanation has left the world depleted, a narrator and his family isolated from other groups.

A few plot threads are hinted at - a tragic accident with long-standing consequences for the family, and the arrival of a stranger give hints of what is to come, and tempt you to continue.

I would have continued reading had the sampler been longer, The narrator is a reader, a trait I always take to, with book references to cement a bond between him and the reader. He constantly refers to the events he's describing as in the past, so we know he is speaking to us from a far-off point.

I thought the concept quite intriguing, and I was keen to learn more about a quiet world with few humans in it.

With thanks to Netgalley for the sampler.

Yes.

Just give me the rest! You can have 5 stars just for the THOUGHT of reading this.

See this is why I don't usually download samples......

I don't know it is an error but the sampler has only 2 pages. But i found another sampler on netgalley so i am going to review based on that sampler. It was an amazing story. When i finished reading it i wanted to read more. I usually don't read apocalypse - end of the world - type of stories but cover and synopsis got my attention. I can't wait to read the whole story.

A very short sampler of this book! Not really enough to get the feel of the story. It seems ok from the paragraph you can actually read.

Gosh I loved this book cannot wait to read the whole thing.ive let my daughter read this too she loves it

There's an issue: this is just a sampler and I cannot wait to read the entire book. It's well written, enthralling and atmospheric.
I loved what I read and I want more.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC
