book review the last

17:45 Sunday 03 May 2015 JST

I just finished Mike's latest book, The Last. It's a really interesting story set in the real world, just three years from now. Quite an easy read except for the queasy parts which I almost had to put down! The story leaves some unanswered questions, and lends itself to more books, which I hope he writes soon!

I was surprised by the plot twists; it seemed so simple at first! Interesting to wonder what I would do if I found myself in the main character's situation: the last man alive in a city full of zombies!!

The story is not as complex as Mike's other work, and focuses on just a couple main characters (not counting the rarely-distinguishable zombies of course!) It's primarily written in first person, and what a ride!

Looking forward to the world more fleshed out; hopefully the series will be a detailed mega-thriller!

In Harajuku now at a hat store. We went to see art by Magritte which was pretty cool and made me realize I'll never be a famous artist (if I don't keep drawing things). Then Sarupapa treated us to some cream filled bread things which were pretty good though maybe not worth the line in which we waited nor the price he paid. hrmm.

1. Golden week is this week. That means lots of time off.
2. Lin was involved in an accident a couple weeks ago. She's shrugged it off with flying colors save for the bruise on her leg.
3. She's been workin' lots recently.
4. I've just agreed to work each Tuesday with Sho on projects he's got going on
5. Might do some work for R at A in E, but not sure yet. Will talk to him tomorrow to see what he has in mind.
6. Have had one Skype lesson with Chieri, via Mutsumi. They are scheduled for Mondays.
7. Ted hasn't come back since he got out about a month ago.
8. I haven't been doing 100 pushups every day, but I've been considering it!
9. I have been working on pong; and recently added background music which increases in volume as game play progresses. It's really neat!
10. Meeting Mutsumi and her husband + Bruno and his wife to see some art by Magritte today. I thought she had misspelled Maglite at first (or is it Maglight?)
11. Weather is nice; I'm barefoot today.
12. Today there's apparently a big fight between two boxers. I've heard of one of them.
