I liked this book. Reading the reviews it seems most readers either love it or hate. Reading it during Covid may have induced a little more anxiety than preferred. The very thought of the entire world shutting down and forcing ones self to…

This book looks appealing at first glance. However, it rapidly goes downhill, especially after the first quarter or so. It's somewhat interesting at first, and I liked the writing style. However, as the book progresses, it gets more into…

I watched this movie before reading the book. I thought the book might go into more detail about the circumstances surrounding the apocalyptic illnesses, etc. which cause these two sisters to become isolated in the Pacific Northwest. I…

I love this book and re-read it every couple of years. What pulls me in is the believability of it; when I was reading it the first time it was just a few months after 9/11, and I was in northern California, near the forests. Also, there…

What they really needed was man around the house. Poorly written about 2 sisters who could barely eke out a living. Had a hard time completing this story.

Nell never knew just how much she consumed, until one day the lights went out in California. “Nothing lasts forever,” her sister Eva notes. As things turn from bad to worse, it’s only a can of gas that keeps Eva going. It reminds her of…
