2,5/5. A survival story in a post-apocalyptic world. At least no zombie so that's «original». It is well written enough, nothing extraordinary in term of style, very practical and a bit dry, but for this kind of story is achieve its purpose. My problem was that the character were just blank. I felt nothing for them and really couldn't care less what happen to them. I also have some concern about how the story/plot evolve. The beginning talk about the truck and how they need to free it from the snow, then repair, they even talk about how they are 500 km late on there oil change, seriously, who cares!! The book often focus on element like that, that was just an example, that are not that important in a post-apocalyptic world. I get the importance of keeping your car in good shape, but focusing on that that much... There is also some nonsense. We mentioned that half the world is mostly frozen, even the ocean frost thick, but at the same time the temperature doesn't seem that cold from what the characters do... Anyway, I don,t want to get all the bad stuff out, the book isn't completely failed, it is a slightly low average surviving story, but the hardcore fan of the genre might enjoy it. I just think that it has a lot of them out there, and that this one just didn't bring something new to the table!
