Reaver is our resident psychopath/sociopath, whatever …he’s just really bad, but he’s also seriously sexy – so whatever he does is fine with me. The world is an ugly bloody carcass of it’s former self and life for humans is dangerous and …temporary. This is dark dystopian set 250 years after the Fallocaust (nuclear annihilation) happened. Nothing is fade to black, you get to experience it all right there and then! You can understand why I love it so much.
You have to know that Fallocaust is not for everyone, (see Tracy’s reasons in the link below) it’s harsh, uncompromising and heinously gory, with rape, cannibalism, psychopaths, copious amounts of opiates and acts of torture so vile I guarantee you you will experience extreme and prolonged bouts internal screaming. And it’s not just me, at present Fallocaust has earned nothing but praise (fist bump to all like minded depravity lovers!) and currently boasts an overall current rating of 4.65 Stars on Goodreads because the 75 readers who have read and rated it obviously don’t care about the trivial editing issues, not when the content is so damn intoxicating. I love this book with it’s flaws and all, I love it.
If that doesn’t win the argument I’ll just say: fuck off, I don’t care what you think anyway to which I will then stomp off while pouting appropriately. I hate them already, but only because I won’t be able to argue against their points by saying more than: yeah but so what, it’s still sooo good, the author is only young and it’s his debut novel – so come on, it’s self published, give him a break – suspend your belief just a little, this story and it’s characters get under your skin to make your heart race like a racehorse and leave your palms all sweaty – it’s that good.
But I’m not, as popularity for Fallocaust grows – and believe me it will – there will be someone else to dissect and eviscerate facets of this novel. It could have been so easy for me to play the cool hypercritical reviewer by picking apart out everything that’s wrong with this beast of a book.
