I can’t imagine that there is another book about the end of humanity that is anywhere near as homely and at times idyllic as this. The tale has a very strange quality to it due to this and ceases to be a story about the end of the world but more about coming to terms with nature and living off the land. ''The Wall'' is an interesting and well written story that is not at all what I expected and for me it is a story that seemed to fall a little flat. There's a lot to like, with a rural way of life described well and in an appealing way, but it didn’t particularly grip me although I’m sure people who like a laid back read would enjoy it a lot more.
For a completely different take on a similar situation try the hugely influential [[I Am Legend by Richard Matheson]]. We also have a review of Haushofer's [[Nowhere Ending Sky by Marlen Haushofer|Nowhere Ending Sky]].
