Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This is the most disjointed piece of junk I have ever read. This author's constant need to jump back to the early days of Arthur's life is tiresome and of very little value to the whole story - unless you just want to know about the life of this person who died in the first chapter. There are places in the story that are poorly developed or not developed at all. We meet the BAD guy half way through the book and then he shows up near the end of the book and a kid we've never met before simply kills him and commits suicide. WHAT!?!?!? The girl who should have been the main character pops in and out of the story and I kept wondering why the author didn't develop her story as a lead character. Although exhausted, this girl gets dragged - along with us - up into the tower to see that there seems to be electric lighting in the distance. I expected her to go there and then we could get an explanation about how they figured out how to turn on the lights, thereby providing a civilized for people to live - but there was nothing more said about this interesting subject. There are items that are brought up in a classic "fore-shadow" which are never developed or even seen again. The author toys with us about the meaning of "Station Eleven" but never actually tells us why this is important. "You keep one and book and I'll carry the other." ??? What's that all about. It had no purpose and it probably wouldn't have mattered if she carried both or lost both, but we are never told. There's a museum in the airport that could have been a great source for some interesting plot development but nothing happens. How did the people feed themselves? Animals? Fields of corn? But we will never know. It goes on and on like that. As I said - this book is poorly written and having read this horrible thing I downloaded a couple of really good books on this dystopian subject and I'm enjoying them instead.
