From Amazon.com

Gordon Krantz survived the Doomwar only to spend years crossing a post-apocalypse United States looking for something or someone he could believe in again. Ironically, when he's inadvertently forced to assume the made-up role of a "Restored United States" postal inspector, he becomes the very thing he's been seeking: a symbol of hope and rebirth for a desperate nation. Gordon goes through the motions of establishing a new postal route in the Pacific Northwest, uniting secluded towns and enclaves that are starved for communication with the rest of the world. And even though inside he feels like a fraud, eventually he will have to stand up for the new society he's helping to build or see it destroyed by fanatic survivalists. This classic reprint is not one of David Brin's best books, but the moving story he presents overcomes mediocre writing and contrived plots. This text refers to an alternate Mass Market Paperback edition.


From AudioFile

The recent movie sparked new interest in David Brin's futurist saga. And listeners who try this audiobook will find an impressive story of survival and hope that seems to have been lost to Hollywood, but not to Brin's many devoted fans. Dick Hill masterfully crafts characters with vocal color. He gives smaller players just the right personality for their temporary focus and passes on to the next scene. Action and drama are projected with finesse without overshadowing Brin's writing. The program holds up well to abridgment, and the story is carefully adapted. The full text is an adventure appealing to a wide range of ages and interests. R.F.W. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine --Ce texte provient d'une édition qui n'est plus publiée ou qui est non diponible.

2.0étoiles sur 5 Read the road instead, Avril 29 2009
This review is from: The Postman (Mass Market Paperback)
I was looking forward to another nightmare realistic version of the apocalypse this book did not deliver. Super Soilders, a computer that talks to people. This book offers only glimpses of what it could have been in the first 100 pages after that it's all down hill. This book is a waste of time.

This review is from: The Postman (Mass Market Paperback)
I loved this book when I read it the for the first time 10 years ago. It's a great post-apocalyptic sci-fi novel as it shows you how the world could look after a nuclear holocaust. The world David Brin invents is interesting and believable. I recommend this to anyone who likes post-apocalyptic sci-fi books.

I should also note that the books is MUCH better than the movie! Do not judge this book on the awful Kevin Costner movie!

5.0étoiles sur 5 Far better than the movie, Janv. 23 2007
Par J. Tupone (Saskatchewan) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Postman (Mass Market Paperback)
Do yourself a favour and buy or borrow this book before you watch the movie. This is a great book for people who enjoy apocalyptic stories. It's a fast, easy read, but the story unfolds well. The character development is quite strong and is effective in drawing the reader into the story. The author does a good job of describing the world that the Postman is living in and how that dismal existence came to be.

I would suspect that a lot of people form their opinion of this story from the way the movie played out. The book is a much more detailed and effective story. There are more characters that are reasonably complex and believable. There are also a number of communities, or regions, that factor into the book itself and the author does a good job of explaining the dynamic of the world that the Postman is living in. In the movie, General Bethlehem notes that "this is a feudal system", but the book makes it clear that civilization (at least on the west cost of the former USA) has reverted to a more primitive form of governance, without having to come out and say it. A written story is often so much more effective than a story told through film. That is the case with this story.
