I bought this book based on the review that said it was reminiscent of The Road - I was hopeful that would be correct, but I highly doubted that it could be anywhere near as well-written.To my surprise, Nine Meals does come close. It is a very well-written and well-thought-out piece of post-apocalyptic sci-fi: it is on a much higher level than the currently popular YA dystopian fiction, though I imagine it will appeal to fans of those types of books as well.It is much deeper than expected - everything that happens in the book has a significance that goes far beyond what is immediately obvious. It is suspenseful, exciting, and fast-paced, yes, but it is also extraordinarily intellectual and thoughtful. A must buy for fans of intelligent science fiction.
