This is a beautifully written coming of age story. The writing is descriptive but not overbearing and conveys the sense of the slowing of time. Even though its a book about global as well as personal catastrophes and the surviving of them, there are no scientific breakthroughs to help. I enjoyed the way the novel revealed the ways humans survive on a day to day basis, slowly adjusting to the terrible things around us. I truly loved the ending. Overall, while it's very beautiful in both aesthetics and literature. My only complaint is since the book was quite short I felt that there were multiple opportunities to allow for more scientific explanations for the slowing of time. It is a book that with a little patience one can appreciate its power.
