Review: They Might Be Giants
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 02 22, 2014
The author started with a good story and unfortunately got lost somewhere along the way.  The bleakness projected by by the author was relentless and chilling, as are the soulless "militias" the brothers pursue.  The action is well done, and by and large the dialogue is fine, but...The last last half of the book just lost my interest once  the brothers decide to go check on dear old dad, four years after the bombs fell, right when they were about to finish their bloody brutal fight.  This plot device just stretched my last bit of patience to the breaking point.  Completely out of character for what had gone before in this story.  Also, honestly, I cannot imagine having to survive the apocalypse burdened with that absolute whiner of a brother.  I'm sure some readers found their discussions amusing but to me this slacker little brother just grated on my nerves.  Author has skills and I would look for more from him but this book just does not quite make the cut for me.
