8 <title>Primitives, by Erich Krauss</title>

10 <description><p><img alt="Book cover" src="/Posts/files/Primitives_638481240711399848.jpg" width="300" height="450" style="float: left;" />&nbsp; I did not like this book. The whole idea in <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/60293362-primitives" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="Thirty years after The Great Fatigue infected the globe&mdash;and the treatment regressed most of the human race to a primitive state&mdash;Seth Keller makes a gruesome discovery in his adoptive father&rsquo;s makeshift lab. This revelation forces him to leave the safety of his desert home and the only other person left in the world&hellip;at least, as far as he knows.">Primitives</a> is that two relatively identical characters, in almost identical situations, somehow get together for a sequel. The rest is so pointless as to be irrelevant.</p>
11 <p>&nbsp; Maybe I am being overly harsh, but consider this: the world has ended, a disease and then a universal antidote that had even worse side effects have seen to that. And so we are somewhere decades into the future, where some kids, raised by educated scientists in what's essentially a zombie world, show us that indeed there is no hope for humanity, because they are entitled, stupid and strong willed to make all the bad decisions they can make. Ugh! Long story short: the world had ended and our only hope are Gen-Zs. We're doomed!</p>
12 <p>&nbsp; <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/36200.Erich_Krauss" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="I couldn't find a web site for him">Erich Krauss</a>' writing style is first person from the viewpoint of the kids, so it's really painful even if it's not technically awful. I almost didn't finish the book, but I chose the pain now rather than the regret that would always follow me around if I didn't find out for sure the book was shit to its very end. And what an end that was... Ugh, part 2.</p>
13 <p>&nbsp; Bottom line: don't read this. It's not good.</p></description>
