Katherine Amt Hanna - Breakdown

Unread post

I picked this up thinking it'd be yet another post-apocalyptic story focusing on the events. Breakdown, though, focuses on the characters to the point where we don't know a lot about what's happened except what we glean from context. It's about surviving psychic stress and the problems of living in a chaotic, disaster struck world whose rigors bring out both the best and worst in people. It's also got a nice love story running through it.

I've really enjoyed it, and thought other readers might like it as well. It reminds me a little of The Handmaid's Tale, though that's a very different future.

Well, the psychic stress and chaotic world, sure. I'm not so convinced everyone gets a nice love story running throughout. ;)

well, maybe not a "nice" love story, but a love story nonetheless.

a story in which love or lack thereof is a pivotal plot point. :D
