Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel [Kindle, Amazon, $11.99]

This was recommended by my friend Curt, who always gives good recs. This book was no exception.

One might describe it as a pre-and-post-apocalyptic novel, but that does it a disservice. It’s really just a riveting story, well told. Jumping back and forth in time, the characters stories come out in tantalizing small chunks. In a way, it reminds me of Cloud Atlas‘ slow reveal.

Just a very engaging novel, without too much focus on the apocalyptic background, but just enough to get in some interesting insights on the effects of the event.
