I just read Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel , and it’s living rent free in my brain.
It was such a powerful book in so many ways. I loved the way the different storylines and characters were tied together, some intricately and some just loosely, as well as the multiple perspectives, timelines, and storylines.
I believe it was originally suggested to me as a book similar to the TV show LOST(2004-2010) and it did satisfy that quite well.
Other books that I have read and enjoyed in a similar vein include:
- The Silo trilogy by High Howey ( Wool, Shift, and Dust)
- Wayward Pines series by Blake Crouch (Pines, Wayward, and The Last Town)
- Some Desperate Glory by Emily Tesh
- MaddAddam Trilogy by Margaret Atwood (Oryx & Crake, the Year of the Flood, and MaddAddam)
Does anyone have any book suggestions for something similar I should look for?
Thanks!
Returning to this thread to let you know I just finished The Stand! I quite enjoyed it and found quite a few similarities in theme between it and Station Eleven.
The version I got was the unabridged version, so it was a very long read, but I never felt like it was a slog, which is probably a testament to King’s writing abilities.
Anyway, thanks for the recommendation!
