WHAT
The everyday life of the people that will eventually survive a cataclysmic event. They go to parties, reflect about love, life, work... yawn!

ANALYSIS
This books actively tries to be the most boring possible novel for me. Imagine you reading about me describing one day of my life, about every exciting thing I'm doing and seeing, like talking to my mom and driving to work. Then I would call this a science fiction novel. That's how I felt about this book.

I didn't even got to the part where the comet would threaten Earth, it was 3 hours of nothing. No conflict, no action, no mystery, no fantasy, no fiction, no anticipation.

I strongly agree with the following comment:

“... reading hasn't been such a chore since Professional Nursing Practice Foundations and Concepts. And in the fiction world, Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell.”
