I just read Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel , and it's living rent free in my brain.
It was such a powerful book in so many ways.
I loved the way the different storylines and characters were tied together, some intricately and some just loosely, as well as the multiple perspectives, timelines, and storylines.
I believe it was originally suggested to me as a book similar to the TV show LOST(2004-2010) and it did satisfy that quite well.
Other books that I have read and enjoyed in a similar vein include:
- The Silo trilogy by High Howey ( Wool, Shift, and Dust)
- Wayward Pines series by Blake Crouch (Pines, Wayward, and The Last Town)
- Some Desperate Glory by Emily Tesh
- MaddAddam Trilogy by Margaret Atwood (Oryx & Crake, the Year of the Flood, and MaddAddam)
Does anyone have any book suggestions for something similar I should look for?
Thanks!
Ohhhh, if you like pandemic themed books too, my all-time favorite book is Blindness by Jose Saramago (skip the sequel, I haven't read it but I heard it's trash in comparison).
If your interest in pandemics extends into zombies, I also just read the Newsflesh series by Mira Grant which I also thought was really cool.
Awesome, thanks! Honestly I haven't really read a lot of pandemic flavoured books, but I'm willing to try a few and see how I like them.
Blindness was on my "to read" list so I'll move it up! And I'll take a look at Newshflesh too.
Thanks again!
