Leave the World Behind: A Novel

Better on audio book

I would have loved to know how everything ended. Not a big fan of open ended reads.

I like the tension and suspense built in the book. No final answer to what was really happening. Up to each reader's imagination.

This is a pain in the ass to read. Wtf happened? Idk. Was there a war? An emp? The author does an incredulous attempt at description, but the time spent reading the book was the same time it took for events to happen in the book. Unbelievably repetitive and annoying.

I liked it! If you don’t do ambiguity, this is not the book for you. A lot of interesting vocabulary and cringey descriptions, but you know what, I enjoyed it. I can understand the low average rating, this book isn’t for everyone. You’ll either love it, or hate it. I almost dissuaded myself from reading this based on some of the reviews. I’m glad I read it anyway.
