I read Station Eleven a few years ago. I posted an appreciative review of it, which became the top review on Amazon.

Then, a few years passed and I forgot the details. When the HBO series came on, I was wondering whether I was misremembering what I read or if the show had made changes from the book. (“Wait a second...wasn't Jeevan a paramedic????”)

Rather than plowing through the book so that I could disentangle the threads, I picked up this study guide.

It was a quick read. The writer did a nice job of organizing the material so that the book made a lot more sense than when I read the book originally. There were details about the story that I completely missed, which is not a hard thing to do given the structure of the book. Also, the author does a nice job of identifying and discussing themes.

It is sort of like the conversation you would like to have at a book club.
