The Last Animal by Ramona Ausubel
2.5
tense slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Sometimes picking up a book without context into what the book is about and going strictly based on the cover can bite you in the ass - which unfortunately is exactly what happened with me and The Last Animal. The premise is interesting but the execution fell flat. Instead of the writing style enhancing the plot and the characters, it made me want to fall asleep. There are some lines that stand out, but overall the writing felt choppy and disconnected and ultimately left me wanting so much more.
