The Fell

2.5 rounded up.

I think writing was a great resource to try and explain the desperation and hopelessness and anger that consumed so many of us during the beginning of COVID-19. How so many of us were left behind and faced with our countries injustices to stop the spread, futile attempts in the end trying to save lives.

This book centers on just a small cast affected by COVID and how they deal with it. Selfishness and sacrifices made being the focal point for the characters in this novel.

I just wished it was a little more honest, a little more raw. The writing style and overall structure of the book disconnects us in a way that in the end didn't quite bring the anger and more of an apathetic tone to how our lives changed by COVID.

disclaimer I am aware that it is not the goal of the author or book to provide me exactly what I would've done or preferred for a covid-centric novel, but in my opinion it became a missed opportunity.
