THE CABIN AT THE END OF THE WORLD by Paul Tremblay

 

The Cabin at the End of the World by Paul Tremblay
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Well, this turned out to be a big disappointment. 🫤

I was really looking forward to reading this book because the premise sounded very intriguing. An end-of-the-world scenario that puts a family in the middle of a terrible situation. And I actually enjoyed the first half of this book. A lot. But the second half became such a slog.

Everything keeps going round in circles. It's all conversation after conversation that leads nowhere. The small amount of action wasn't enough to keep my attention. And even when the tragic incident happened, the emotional impact was zero.

Not to mention that ending. I think that a story teasing such a severe apocalyptic situation needs a definite answer at the end. Not the vague mess presented here.

Such a shame but, sadly, this book didn't work for me.
