I suppose likes or dislikes of a particular author are somewhat subjective, but there was a lot of good buzz about Tremblay so I tried a couple of his books. And disliked them both. Not kind of or sort of but really didn't like them. The plot of Survivor Song sounded fantastic. A quick spreading rabies virus. Hard to screw that one up. Wrong! What a snooze fest. I almost couldn't believe it. A couple hundred pages on a pregnant woman's attempt to get to the hospital. The book was apparently a rushed opportunity to prove how "hep" the author is by offering his inane political commentary on responding to a "virus." The hospitals are overrun and its all the fault of right wingers. Wow. A breathtaking exercise in boredom.
