I am of the belief that Ruiz Zafron is an amazing author. This story is a bridge, though. An amuse bouche. It tells us some history we didn't know, completes a circle that I presume we'll need for the final story in the cycle of the Cemetery of Forgotten Books.

I really don't know what I expected. I suppose the story is basically what one might expect it to be. But, where it is in the Amazon Kindle lists, I thought it would be written better, maybe? It's written in ... It's written poorly. Really, really poorly.

Not the HBO TV Show. Aside from the instigating event, and the handful of primary characters... there's a lot of season one herein, I suppose, but largely, the TV show is a very different beast.

I enjoyed this book, and found myself laughing more than one might expect to while reading about a post-apocalyptic interrogation of how the survivors survive. It's interesting, and it's thought-provoking, and there's a moment near the end that is gut-wrenching, but... much less effecting than the show, which again, different ball of wax.

Another audiobook for me to listen to while doing dishes, among other things.

A delightful listen. It helped to have good voices, but it was well-read and well-written to the voices. Just a delightful little story about that age of a family.

I'm trying. I'm only a handful of pages in, but, boy oh you is it terrible in some significant ways so far. we'll see if I can come close to finishing it
