Review: Very interesting post-apocalyptic story

I don't find it easy to like an apocalyptic/end of the world kind of books, mostly because the general feeling they leave behind is sadness. But at the same time, it's absolutely impossible not to appreciate a great book when I read one, no matter the subject. I found "Nine Meals" to be captivating as a reading, and a complex and smart novel about human kind. Having a set of characters, very different one form the other, creating a crowded end of the world scenery, describing human feelings during critical times, having a slight humorous taste even if it's the end of the world - all these ingredients made this novel a great reading. It is a different book of this kind, one where I connected with the characters and the story they are part of, without feeling sad, but acknowledging the reality.
