A good example of its genre. Enjoyable if a little twee and naive. But sometimes that is exactly what you want. 

Easy to listen to, but surprisingly dull. it's a journey across a few states, mostly in vehicles, taking a few weeks. There's a few encounters with bad people and good people but on the whole it didn't really have much of a post apocalypse feel, neither the tension due to fear and uncertainty nor the fascination and adventure of rebuilding civilisation. 

A more interesting read than the first book. Though still slow in places , it was better paced on the whole. 

I didn't really enjoy the first two thirds, it was tediously slow and repetitive, up a slope down a slope rinse and repeat, and for all that you didn't even get to know much of the character of the hobbits (or anyone else). There's also innumerable new names of places and people, multiplied severaltimes over by the fact they're called something else in other languages, so that was a lot to deal with - like reading genealoies in the bible. I did enjoy the last third, things started to move quicker and there were more changes of scene and characters started to have personality. 

Dark, angry and depressing, the opposite of escapism. It boggles my mind that some people genuinely love this book. I will take pleasure in never reading it again. 

I'm giving this book high marks for its readability (especially considering its age) and its twisty turny plot that took me all sorts of unexpected ways. I grew to really appreciate Jane (I couldn't like her at the start even though I felt for her) her character development was admirable and the flaws though at times irritating were believable. 

I went into this book prejudiced. I was sure wouldn't like it as I remembered vaguely reading it as a child and not liking it then so I was surprised that I did enjoy the bulk of it. The downsides however are literally all the men suck and I absolutely do not buy into the "romance" of this book at all.

A fun subverted fairytale book, one of the better ones I've read The 3 main characters are all well developed, and a fairly satisfying ending, though it did end in a very openway that suggested a sequel that there is no intentionof being written, so that's a bit odd. There are many individual fairytales addressed I think 1 per chapter, each twisted to a sinister outcome that our mercenary heroes will resolve. The one downside is how conveniently things always worked out for them, though they do explain it away to a certain degree. 

I did enjoy it, the audio narration was very good with 3 performers and each chapter being its own little adventure meant it worked well with my listening routine. For all that though I doubt I'll read it again and have no particular plans to seek out more by the author.
