"...now that I've got used to the idea I think I'd rather have it this way."

This is a different type of post apocalyptic story. There is no chaos or turmoil, all of that is behind them and the people have moved on. The rest of the world has gone dark and there is no hope left. Now everyone gets by on what is around, go to classes, do their job and plan for a garden that they will never see. Everyone stays busy until their certain death contained in the nuclear fallout reaches them.

This story was amazing and the final pages of the book were incredibly moving. When there are months left to live and there is no chance of surviving I would like to think that life would carry on in a peaceful and calm manner instead of spiralling down in to a crime and looting filled rage.

Depressing book but a stand out amongst this genre, especially when you consider the publication date of it.
