Strong writing but a muddled plot that doesn't seem to serve an end purpose. When I finished the book I really couldn't pinpoint the message which was a shame.

Not what I expected from the cover image. Somewhat disappointing, but strong writing. Just not a fan of the story.

This book was Weird. With a capital W.
It was a good read.. interesting... I enjoyed flipping the pages as fast as I could.
But I really had no idea what the point of the book was. I didn't get it. I finished it and had no idea.

I'm not sure what I just read. It was a page turner, but I have NO idea what the story was trying to say.

This was the story of an environmental catastrophe, courtesy of a scientist w/CERN's Large Hadron Collider. Everything in the Earth's ecosystem dies. That much was clear. So was the family drama, marital separation and 11th hour reunion, and state murders to reduce the population.

Everything else in the doesn't make sense to me. A talking plant. A scientist willing to let his family die without him. Is it a cautionary tale? Is it satire? What's the point?
