I think this was an extremely researched book but it just wasn’t for me. The audiobook felt like I was listening to a news report for 11 hours (though I did listen for 11 hours!). A VERY detailed news report please check trigger warnings.

I liked the idea of following one person through the journey to make you remember humanity, though she was used more periodically than I thought. I can’t really get past the fact that cannibalism was excused more than racism in this book. If you’re putting a reflective lens on it, you should be able to do both.
