A disturbing, distressing look at ecological disaster.
This is such a good book, but also deeply disturbing. Set during an environmental disaster, initially set in London, then Scotland in a refugee camp.
The way it's written reflects the shock and despair of the main character - sparse and disjointed. Time moves in a strange way (which will be interesting to see how this will be handled if it makes it to the big screen).
This is well worth a read, but make sure you're mentally in a good place first! The whole book made me feel uncomfortable, and there is no happy ending. Call me odd, but that's the kind of book that I really enjoy!

I really enjoyed this book. The setting skips between present day, where a girl raised in foster care meets an elderly lady and finds they have a lot in common. The present day chapters are told in third person. The flashback chapters depicting the older lady's childhood is told in first person and spans from her early childhood to mid-twenties.
I listened to the audiobook, and the narrator was very good. There were some parts that were heartbreaking and hard to listen to, but overall, the book was very well-written. There were a few parts of the plot I wish were different, but those parts are what made the book feel more realistic.

One of the best shows on TV in recent years
An apocalyptic drama that finally ticks all the right boxes. The 'zombies' (walkers, lamebrains, whatever you want to call them) are realistically frightening (not either dragging their heels or moving at super-human speed), already achieving what so many in the genre fail to do - a terror we can actually relate to. Enhanced further by (generally) realistic post-apocalyptic situations and dilemmas, the drama is able to develop characters with ferocious intensity.

This show keeps me on the edge of my seat and has me genuinely invested in its key players. There's nothing out there quite like it - it's a uniquely brilliant experience.

A True Patriot?
The first 3 seasons are brilliant, after that the show goes from explosive and gripping to being just okay. I wouldn't say that there is a categorically bad season of the show, but the first 3 are definitely the highlight and the best way to enjoy the show is possibly just to watch those first three seasons. There is a definitive end to most major character acts around that point in the show and honestly the character arcs that aren't closed off by this point aren't really worth sticking around to see through to the end.
