The End of the World Running Club: The ultimate race against time post-apocalyptic thriller

Product Information

That's not a super cheery sentiment (though I did kind of laugh when I read those lines — it's not too much of a stretch these days to root for the end of the world, or at least a huge change to how things are now, right?

It was while he was out on a salvage run that everyone else at the shelter was rescued by helicopter and flown to a port where the plan was to send all the rescued by boat to South Africa where there was little devastation. It’s made more noticeable though by the fact all the human threats they face come from either the working class or country folk.Having made it to the rescue ship that will take them to a rumoured safe haven in America, Beth doesn’t waste any time on mourning her husband who got left behind in Cornwall. While we don't really get too deep into the thoughts of our main character Edgar, nor the other characters who surround him, this story is very much about how the end of the world changes one man. It's like it was put there because book clubs would salivate over it; not because it made sense to the story or added to the ending in any way.

Yet a world that’s been broken offers its own kind of optimism; it can be rebuilt, and so too can relationships that before the apocalypse appeared to be unfixable. Der Kampf kleiner Gruppen Überlebender gegeneinander hält den Spannungsbogen in Walkers Endzeitroman gespannt, auch wenn ein Icherzähler sicher überleben wird, um seine Geschichte niederschreiben zu können. I loved how even minor characters had something to add to Edgar's story from the people who made the journey with him to minor encounters along the way. I started running a couple years ago because I desperately needed to do something to stem the tide of quickly approaching middle age. If you like to root for your hero, then again you might find it a little challenging, though there are plenty of other more heroic characters to cheer for.When two of the men betray them and abscond with their only vehicle, Ed decides to make the last several hundred miles by running. Overall I'm not convinced that Edgar ever felt a genuine emotion towards anyone in his family, running club or whatnot. I rooted so hard for him even though he probably didn’t deserve to be reunited with the family he took so for granted.

He faces a variety of challenges too, and it was these twists and turns that I found most interesting about the story. What I liked: One of the things I absolutely loved about ‘The End of the World Running Club’ was that we got to see the before, during and after.

At that moment, I was thinking it should have been Bryce or even Harvey (Richard's death would have been too sad for Richard's son, though, fucking Richard, man. While a small part of this book is certainly about running (and it's clear our author has experienced a runners wall, high and all the emotions and pains that come with it); the reality is it's really just your average the world went to hell the moment we lost amenities book. As they emerge back into the world they see the ruin and disaster around them, caused by hundreds of large asteroids hitting the earth.
