Description

A "suspenseful, atmospheric tale...punctured by a gut-punch twist" (Entertainment Weekly), A Boy and His Dog at the End of the World is a story of survival, courage, and hope amid the ruins of our world.

My name's Griz. I've never been to school, I've never had friends, and in my whole life I've not met enough people to play a game of football. My parents told me how crowded the world used to be, before all the people went away. But we were never lonely on our remote island. We had each other and our dogs.

Then the thief came.

"This unputdownable story has everything - a well-imagined post-apocalyptic world, great characters, incredible suspense, and, of course, the fierce love of some very good dogs." (Kirkus, starred review)

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Fletcher's suspenseful, atmospheric tale imagines a near future in which our world is in ruins.... An adventure saga punctured by a gut-punch twist." (Entertainment Weekly)

"[A] heart-and gut-wrenching tale of a post-apocalyptic world.... A Boy and His Dog at the End of the World takes a memorable journey of loyalty and love and transforms it into an unraveling mystery of self-discovery and exploration.... This is the story of trust and loyalty within a family, and finding your own pack - even if they're different from the pack you were born into." (Bookpage)

"The hunt for Jess propels this story forward like a rocket, and Fletcher does a masterful job keeping the stakes high and the suspense crackling while still creating plenty of space for readers to get to know Griz and explore this fascinating not-quite-empty world. This unputdownable story has everything-a well-imagined post-apocalyptic world, great characters, incredible suspense, and, of course, the fierce love of some very good dogs." (Kirkus Reviews, starred review)

Perfect in Every Way...

This is the sort of novel we all hope as readers to find under every cover and never forget when we do. It truly is a wonderful story with characters that remind you what it is to be alive. Grateful to have found it. Only sad thing is I don’t expect to read a better novel this year.

Great addition to the post-apocalypse/dystopian genre

Great story-well written. I have to say that the narrator (who I just discovered was the author) put me off at first. Not sure why - but after 10 minutes I found the narration adding to my enjoyment of this book rather than detracting from it. The author paints a very plausible and believable picture of a thinly populated pst-apocalyptic world-and sets a great story with interesting characters in it. Certainly one of my top 10 audiobooks.

Very good read

For some reason this was listed under the children section and it is definitely not a kid friendly book. The book was very good. Highly recommend. Just don't play in front of younger children.

Post apocalyptic now

Something about the restrictions from Covid, feeling alone and the surreal reality that makes the ideas in this book seem so much more tangible than it might have.
“Solitude is its own kind of madness. Like hope itself.”
And as I'm left with my own kind of madness and as I'm left witness to the monsterous deeds of what people do when they are afraid (all the xenophobic attacks, local, and worldwide, and the hurt that it has caused), this gave me a sort of distraction from the grief and terror of the past weeks. Thank you for this.
The narrator worked well with the book, the cadence and pacing of his reading was never distracting, but added to the book.

Amazing!

One of the best books I’ve ever read... that’s all I can say because I don’t want to spoil a thing. I didn’t want this book to ever end.

Absolutely brilliant

This book was better than I could have ever expected. I was delighted and surprised the whole way through. I love the nods to so many of the books I love, i.e. Leibowitzing. The rich descriptions of long dead items were extremely believable. You knew that the character couldn't have known what the item was, but as a reader I knew exactly what Griz had found. Then there were the surprises and the sudden points where you were given just enough info to make a guess, and rewarded for being right when the truth was revealed. One of my new favourites!

Compelling from start to finish

A thoughtful and provocative story that I am sorry to have finished. Such an imaginative way of looking back on what we once were from the unique perspective of a child.

Great story, great journey.

Was totally invested, after the first 2 chapters, the story had many turns. Was very pleased to have used a credit on this. Worth every minute of listening.
