In the Country of Last Things (Abridged) Audiobook

" loved this book but thought the main character could have tried harder to leave the city if it was so bad "

" Beauty, sadness...Amazing book with hope at the end of the road.. "

" feel a little too much like a holywood sci-fi film. a bit rambling. "

" one of the best for my Auster list "

" This was a completely random pick from the used bookstore. I don't do random picks very often - I figure there are enough books and authors already on my to-read list, so there hardly seems enough time to experiment. But I liked this one. I finished it, wondering a little if I'd missed out on some important theme, but I think that may have been a theme in itself. You pursue and pursue, and eventually you still just lose what you were looking for. It was a quick, easy read, but also substantial (sort of a paradoxical word in this case) and engaging. I recommend it. "

" One of the best book I ever read.. WOA... mindblowing "

" Didn't really add anything new to the post-apocalypse genre. "

" Ci ho messo tantissimo a finire questo libricino, ogni scusa era buona per fare altro. Noioso, per nulla accattivante. "

" A low-key approach and a scant page count tempers the impact of Paul Auster's post-apocalyptic tale, but it's Auster, so it's still worthwhile. "

" I always wonder if I would be savvy enough to survive like this. "

" eerily believable... one of those books that sticks with you... "

" What is the point of survival if at the end of it all, you've lost all the things that make you what you are? "

" A subject so close to my country's reality...I almost felt myself in that situation. A film was going to be done in Argentina, but so far... "

" Interesting, but vague. I spent weeks trying to figure out where the novel took place. "

" What is the point of survival if at the end of it all, you've lost all the things that make you what you are? "

" I love the ambiguity of the time, the place, the final outcome. At times during the book, I groaned about it feeling a bit contrived, but then it redeemed itself. So I ended up really enjoying it. "

" This is a haunting novel of a dystopian city where civilization has essentially collapsed. It pulls you in and you will think about it for days to come. I loved the book. "

" Ci ho messo tantissimo a finire questo libricino, ogni scusa era buona per fare altro. Noioso, per nulla accattivante. "

" Lidt kvalmende på den fascinerende måde. "
