3.0 out of 5 stars Might makes right, May 13 2004
This review is from: Some Will Not Die (Paperback)
I have a copy of this from the 70's, just recently reread it. A little Tarantino like in switching time frames from preset to past until the past catches up to the present. Not the greatest literary work but an interesting look at what it would take to rebuild civilization after a catastrophe. Like the Romans & the Mongols might makes right as 2 families, the Garvins & the Berendtsens, look past paranoia & join together to unite their apartment building, then start building by building block by block, uniting people by force until New York is a free republic with central government, then they move south & north trying to unify other cities under them.

1.0 out of 5 stars Some Should Not Read., April 23 2004
By Russ (Duluth, GA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Some Will Not Die (Paperback)
Disjointed, flighty, confusing. Good premise, but: Where are we? Who are we? What is going on? Where are we going? Very claustrophobic. Limited to high rise buildings in NYC and a vehicle on the Western plains of the US in different time periods. No definitive characters. Those that were defined, who cares? I'm still trying to figure out the plot. And I don't agree with the author about the chapter from a collection of short stories that he "tacked on" in this later version. This was all done so much better in "Earth Abides". You probably shouldn't waste your time, much less your money.
