Journal Entry 1 by Flambard from Horsham, West Sussex United Kingdom on Wednesday, October 6, 2010
A compelling and very atmpospheric read, with superb ambience. A father and son trek, more or less silently, across America which has been changed into an ash-covered post-apocalyptic wasteland. There is danger and menace all around and a sense of constant threat. The language and minimal punctuation contained in the narrative adds to the dismal desolation. I loved it. There was one passage which really summed it up for me:

"This was the first human being other than the boy that he'd spoken to in more than a year. My brother at last. The reptilian calculations in those cold and shifting eyes. The grey and rotting teeth. Claggy with human flesh. Who has made of the world a lie every word."

Rannoch Moor
