À propos de cet audio

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)

I didnt know what to expect but was blown away by the style and perspective the author brought. It made me think and then the twists snuck up on me! Great book!

Unexpectedly very good!

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.

Great addition to the post-apocalypse/dystopian genre

A great adventure.

I couldn't turn this book off, I had to know what happened.

Fantastic

This is a thoughtful and beautifully written novel. It gently probes a possible future, painting humanity in all our truths - ugly and not. I love that it is narrated by the author. Makes a first person story authentic, natural sounding, and true to the author’s interior vision and (of course) voice.

Joins the best in dystopian lit

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.

Perfect in Every Way...

This was a wonderful imaginary story of how our civilization is set back hundreds of years. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Possibly our future

My brother’s dog Hoss was killed by wolves yesterday and after I learned the sad news, I finished this audio book while spending precious time with Merlin, my old Bernese Kitchen Dog and appreciating him to the fullest.

People who love dogs, are good to be with

I have to admit that I bought this book because the reviews were so consistently good.I really thought 'It cant be THAT good!'.It really was.One of the very best Ive ever listened to.The style is unique I thought.Its written as a letter describing the challenges ,adventures ,fears and lessons.So many truly interesting surprises.Twice I said out loud,startling my cat ,OMG! I was that surprised by an event or unforseen tidbit of information.There is a good ending,but also and ending that would allow for subsequent books.Please please C A Fletcher, tell us there is more coming and that you will again do the narration!

OUTSTANDING!

I've listened to this book 3 times now. THREE Times! I almost know the story by heart now, but every listen only brings me more pleasure. The story is so excellent - a kind of pandemic story but NOT about zombies and our main character is genuinely honest and innocent to the ways of the world that adds a level of vulnerability to the story. And then the animals... the dogs alone had me glued to my headphones.

If you want an adventure story with tension, intelligence and heart soaring action then this book is for you! And I'll probably listen to it again in a couple of years.

Utterly captivating
