This is a really weird, really bleak book. Like, yeah it’s about Noah’s Ark but there’s just no hope. Everyone in this book is utterly selfish and amoral. Noah’s family has not a single care about the entire world dying. There’s a lot of really vague sex scenes, like you don’t even know that sex is happening until like 4 pages later.
