A page turning thriller.
American family 25 years ago and present day. The daughter wakes to find her parents and brother have disappeared.
It does what it intends and makes you turn the pages but this is no Deaver or Coben novel.

Some bright spark in our book group (and he is bright) had a good idea to get us to read a graphic novel. I liked the idea and tackled the book with an open mind.
An unknown event occurs and kills off the male species, oh hang on…yes you guessed it, all but one man. We then have rival women tribes, our lonely male had better watch out.
Corny, thin, rubbish, tripe. Nice illustrations though.

Long listed for this years Booker and I don’t see it reaching the shortlist.
Everyone is out to get Pakistan’s General Zia (this was true), he is ruling the country but not very well. Amusing and annoying in turns.
Is it aimed at those that like thrillers or literary fiction, either way you would be disappointed.
