Slow Apocalypse by John VarleyMy rating: 2 of 5 stars
2 Star review - On my scale 2 stars probably isn't worth picking it up.
I read the first 1/4 of the book and did not finish it.
This was an interesting concept, but it failed in that the primary impact of the "apocalypse" simply didn't much impact on the primary characters.
Aside from losing electricity and having to camp out, they were not significantly impacted by the series of disasters. Given their proximity to one of the major impact zones, this wasn't a very realistic representation of the unfolding disasters.
I just couldn't get into it.
The book was well written and well edited. It just didn't grab my interest.
A better take on this general idea was Lucifer's Hammer.
