the narrator is very monotone and boring. might as well be reading me an article out if the Economist. I could t get invested in the characters or the story.

the world is ending in the politeness between the father and son is ridiculous
Review from The Dark Road Series Collection →
This book sounds like Mike Brady from The Brady Bunch talking to his 10 year old son. The dad Ben and his interactions with his son Joel who is probably 16 or 17 is kind of ridiculous, so formal and not very realistic. I got to chapter 17 and I don’t know if I’m going..
I started the Dark Road series by Bruno Miller with high hopes. The first few books? Solid—though let’s be honest, they probably could’ve been crammed into one. The later ones? Repetitive, drawn out, and starring a main character who manages to be both tough and annoyingly whiny. And if I had a dollar for every..

Just an old fashioned good vs bad tale without all the modern societal trappings. They done messed up…

I thoroughly enjoyed this, and I wouldn’t hesitate to let a 13-year-old listen to it. This book doesn’t have the strong language and more extreme violence of some post-apocalyptic books. There are a couple of goofy wildlife things, like the wolf and the copperhead, but easy enough to ignore.

Unlikely depopulated world with contrived conflicts once a day. Lack of science and common sense.
