The Wee Writing Lassie’s 300 Books in a Year – Book 210

Earth Abides by George R. Stewart

Goodreads Blurb: A disease of unparalleled destructive force has sprung up almost simultaneously in every corner of the globe, all but destroying the human race. One survivor, strangely immune to the effects of the epidemic, ventures forward to experience a world without man. What he ultimately discovers will prove far more astonishing than anything he’d either dreaded or hoped for.

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Goodreads Review: Very well written, with some interesting ideas on how people would cope with the end of civilisation. It is dated in its main character’s attitudes and prejudices (with some particular distressing racism at the beginning). However, I do find it a perfect argument on how you don’t have to like the main character to enjoy the book.
