literarysara 's review for:

The Memory of Animals by Claire Fuller
emotional sad medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Just didn’t do it for me. I kept reading because I was interested in how the author would resolve the impossible dilemma: a few strangers survive an apocalyptic pandemic in a hospital, but their supplies are running out. But the characters were not themselves very compelling, and the speculative elements (apocalypse, some kind of magical technology that lets you revisit your memories) are not well-married to the plot.
