Alex scarrow last light mobi

Because each character is almost a hero. The Girl lenora who in the beginning only thought about his cute new conquest to a hero of the old greek ages.

Andy who is in Iraq and is coming to his family. I truly hated this character. I really wanted to anyone to kill it. Thank the gods that Scarrow had the decency to kill him or else these book would receive 1 star total.

I enjoy seeing the world falling to chaos but it was too soon, too quick. I always thought that people are just animals and only have laws because otherwise we would do as we please and be worse than barbarians.

We are children of the dark controlled by laws and costumes. Nice one Alex Scarrow. And what happenened to the Twelve and the One Hundred and Sixty? Their plan worked. But can they rise like a phoenix from the ashes of civilization? Jul 05, Andy Gibb rated it really liked it. This is a bloody good read in that it ticks all the thriller boxes. In particular it rattles on at pace, introduces twists and keeps you guessing to the end.

On the downside the production of the book seems rather rushed maybe to beat real life? Sep 24, Fiona Brichaut rated it it was amazing Shelves: books-i-loved , favorites. I couldn't put this down. And when I wasn't reading it, I was worrying about what "was happening" and if the various characters "would be ok". In other words, total suspension of disbelief as I spent a few days tied to the story.

Scarrow writes with an immediacy that had me gripping the book in a tight hot hold, hardly daring to breath. I had this book for a long time and was put off by the 1-star reviews but once I started I was hooked. I liked the main characters, I liked the way Scarrow wasn't I couldn't put this down. I liked the main characters, I liked the way Scarrow wasn't afraid to kill off some good characters before they had much chance to develop I found that realistic and sometimes in dumb ways.

OK, so it's a page turner. Is it realistic? No, probably not. But it had me constantly wondering how my family and I would survive in a world out of control as described here. I lay awake at night picturing scenarios. We are way too dependent on oil. OK, so the idea of some unknown powerful group orchestrating the whole thing is kind of silly, but hey, that's just a back story and not really the point of it all.

It's just a device to pin the story on, and I'm ok with that. But the real fact of the world's total dependence on oil supplies that could be stopped within days or weeks is true and scary. Or maybe I've been reading WAY too many apocalyptic novels lately and it's starting to make me paranoid.

Then I'll definitely calm down with a few tai chi sessions and get back to my 19th century novels. Like this review? Why not check out my book review site: BelEdit Book Reviews? Mar 21, Keith Currie rated it liked it.

It's no work of literature but it is a more than passable thriller on a fascinating topic - what would happen if the world's oil production was suddenly halted. Good things include the focus on the family split across the country and across the world as its members attempt to reunite against a background of a collapsing society; not so convincing is the conspiracy group responsible for the collapse in the first place and their shadowy hit-man, Ash.

I enjoyed this undemanding, but thought-provoki It's no work of literature but it is a more than passable thriller on a fascinating topic - what would happen if the world's oil production was suddenly halted. I enjoyed this undemanding, but thought-provoking read. Eye-opening, thrilling and intense. I really enjoyed this one. I'm not a big book reader but I read the sequel to this book a few years back I didn't know it was a sequal then and the story had me hooked!

The book follows the Sutherland family through a time whereby life as we know it, takes a dramatic turn for the worst. It's a story on what could happen if the world was to suddenly have no oil and how that then affects absolutely everything.

I honestly started to worry that this could actually happen! Without giving spoilers, there is a side story in the book which tries to explain why everything is happening, but I wasn't sold and actually found it a little boring.

I much preferred the detail put into how life changes and how people start to adapt to life without power, running water, etc. Really recommend giving this a read.

The sequel 'After Light' is even better than this one. View 1 comment. Apr 18, Kat rated it really liked it Shelves: udate , apocalypse , not-owned. When it comes to post-apocalyptic novels, the ones I find I enjoy the most are the ones that are very real scenarios.

I first read Last Light in or , but I've always wanted to go back and revisit it again, because as well as being entertaining, it's a book that carries a message - the dependency of the human race on oil is huge, and it's complicated.

It's not something I give thought to often, but imagine if the oil supplies were suddenly cut off - would the world band together or would it descend into chaos? Last Light focuses on one family, the Sutherlands, in the immediate aftermath of the destruction of the worlds' oil extraction and distribution process.

Andy Sutherland is something of an alarmist, but the reasons behind his paranoia are actually justified - he knows just how precarious the world is in it's dependency and has no doubts on just how catastrophic the loss of oil would be.

Last Light is told through multiple perspectives, and this is where it lost me a little. Whilst the storyline of Andy in Iraq is vital to the story, it wasn't the part that I was particularly invested in - I liked the focus on the collapse of the British economy and infrastructure far more, and particularly the perspectives of Andy's wife, Jenny and daughter Leona as they witnessed the spiralling events first hand.

The characters all feel very real - the Sutherlands are normal, everyday people with normal, everyday problems and perspectives and that makes them incredibly likable and I was also able to sympathise with them as they tried to find each other whilst surviving some scary situations.

There are also mystery elements in Last Light that opens the appeal up to more readers than just the apocalypse lovers, and although it wasn't the type of storyline that I normally enjoy, it was an essential part of the story that I found very intriguing. What Alex Scarrow does very well in Last Light is paint a picture of how a nation, and a world, could collapse so suddenly into chaos, and there are moments of real tension and terror as humans turn on each other for a bottle of water or a mouldy slice of bread.

It's not always clear how events are going to turn out, and that makes Last Light an incredibly readable and scary book. Sep 26, Keith rated it liked it Shelves: thriller. The premise is a well thought out exposition of the implications of the Peak Oil theory, that modern society survives solely by the plentiful supply of oil. The drama occurs when this supply is suddenly cut off.

The Middle East, South American and Nigerian supplies are stopped and it's a matter of days before civilisation starts to fall apart. The story follows the Sutherland family, Andy, a Peak Oil bore currently working in Iraq, Jenny, stuck in Manchester and their children, Leona and Jacob, a The premise is a well thought out exposition of the implications of the Peak Oil theory, that modern society survives solely by the plentiful supply of oil.

The story follows the Sutherland family, Andy, a Peak Oil bore currently working in Iraq, Jenny, stuck in Manchester and their children, Leona and Jacob, at University and boarding school respectively. What happens to them and the disintegration of life around them is interesting enough and, in the main, well presented. The fact that Andy may be the unwitting architect of the downfall, having written a report summing up the bottlenecks that can be used to cut off the world's oil, and an assassin sent to silence Leona, who accidentally saw some people who turn out to be members of a shadowy organisation called the Twelve.

As it turns out they commissioned the report as a template for "saving" the world on their terms. The Twelve, and their foot soldiers the , are a credible force behind the New World Order conspiracies, right up to the final scenes where the pudding is well and truly over egged, setting their roots in the 14th Century.

The story is gritty and not everybody gets out alive. The three older members of the Sutherland family are possibly over endowed with heroic traits, but for the story to end up where it was, they pretty much have to be. Andy, in particular, gets the Bruce Willis treatment.

The assassin is an unnecessary embellishment who's sole reason for existing is a few paragraphs of exposition late in the book. And upping the body count, which I mind less because what else is an assassin for? The pace is pretty good, it seldom drags at all, although some may find chopping between the three main storylines confusing.

There were some things that jarred, disturbed air made one or two appearances too many, mostly from near misses by firearms but at least once from a coat.

This book WILL be the thriller of the year, its a cover to cover gripping what if that will suck you in and leave you thinking, wondering and probably a hell of a lot scared about just how fragile our modern lifestyle really is.

I dare any of you to read this book and finish it with a clear concience about your carbon footprint, to not check the cupboards to see what food you have in and to wonder if leaving the city might be an ideas View all 3 comments.
