Book Review: A Moon Full Of Stars - Jon Mollison


I finished this novel in three days.

It was nothing really amazing, it was not awful. It serve its purpose.

Basically this is a post apocalyptic novel set in a time that villages are being built and mutants roam the land. Here we follow Rome & Warsaw (hmmm) as they are hunting and as they are returning they see fire and their own people being killed and taken prisoner by mutated beings. So, this two, not so friends go on a quest to save their village. The one thing I would say it's positive is the interaction between those two people, looking at each others flaws and strengths and banding together to deal with new threat. We get to see a bit of the world, not that much, and then off to moon where they find a advanced civilization of surviving humans with psychic powers but everything else really lacking. Basically the human being was supplanted by society and individual needs supressed.

I thought that from this moment on was a bit lacking, sometimes really rushed and the conclusion even more rushed. The author really went overboard with the present putting he ribbon and everything else really tidy and neat. Basically deus ex-machina with new powers and kaput. The novel ended. This should have been more 50 or 100 pages explaining the trials, going as much as putting difficulties where there were barely none...
