The Man Who Watched the World End
The Man Who Watched the World End | Chris Dietzel
2 posts | 3 read | 1 to read
The end of man was not signaled by marauding gangs or explosions, but with silence. People simply grew older knowing a younger generation would not be there to replace them. The final two residents in the neighborhood of Camelot, an old man and his invalid brother, are trapped in their house by forests full of cats and dogs battling with the bears and wolves to eat anything they can find. As the man struggles to survive, he recounts all the ways society changed as the human population continued to shrink—the last movie Hollywood ever made, the last World Series that was played, how governments around the world slowly disbanded. THE MAN WHO WATCHED THE WORLD END is the haunting account of a man who has witnessed the world fade away. It is also a story about the power of family.

Thanks to BookBub, I have way too many kindle books. I just used Goodreads to organize them by length so hopefully I can knock them out a little faster. #IHaveAProblem

The idea of the book is enthralling, but I thought the execution lacked excitement. The narrative felt very repetitive and the repetition was not caused by the small space the main character occupied, but more by how the author chose to tell the story. In addition, some of the elements of the narrative just weren't plausible in the world end scenario that was being described.
