A well envisioned post apocalyptic world. The goal is survival and the plot keeps you moving on a quick pace with lulls long enough for you to catch your breath. The characters are developed and really drive the story. I am looking forward to more books in this series.

An accomplished book which tackles the issue of abuse hidden beneath the facade of upper class respectability. The characterisation was skillful, each emotion and lurch for survival was vividly described so the reader could identify perfectly with what, for most of us, is unthinkable. I thoroughly enjoyed this book.

Would've been better without the romance
I like both Idris Elba and Kate Winslet, however I feel like this film could've been much better without a pointless romance between them.

This should've been a survival film only, and it would've been much more endearing. The love story was a little ridiculous and unnecessary, and the ending too was just predictable and cheesy. As purely a survival film though, this could have actually been quite good. There are parts of this where they appear to survive fairly harsh conditions and situations without any real consequences, which seems a little farfetched - they spend 3 weeks in the mountains but barely seem knackered at all. There also seem to be a few nuances and plot holes. I also get very annoyed with survival films when one of the characters is always a doctor! It's awfully convenient.

To be fair this was an alright film to watch until it started on the romance. I'm just glad nothing bad happened to the dog.
