This collection of stories has some very strong entries. In the end there were more stories that didn't really work for me and the final one, that ties it all together failed to bring off the conclusion successfully for me. The tone was just so different. If you're a fan of post-apocaliptic fiction, you may want to give it a go anyway - the highs were worth the lows for me. But I wanted to love this more!
