I’m not normally a huge fan of non fantasy post apocalyptic works. But Station Eleven is an exception to that rule. Sometimes you read a book fast because you just want to be done with it. And sometimes you read a book fast because you just can’t put it down. This book was definitely the latter. The time line hopping throughout the book helps to vividly contrast modern life with the post pandemic world.

This 2014 bestseller is a chilling, almost prophetic narrative about the world. A viral pandemic sweep thru the world in a matter of days bringing to an end life as we know it. Twenty years later, a roving band of thespians and musicians that travels through scattered settlements bringing with them memories of the past through their performances. While there is usually safety in numbers, this group is about to find out that numbers don’t mean anything to the Prophet.
