A third of the novel is dedicated to what happens outside the territories where the old Teddy Garnett lives. It's the story Kevin told. There is a double change at this point. The narrator changes, no longer Teddy, but Kevin. And the scenery changes, no longer the mountains and the countryside, but the city flooded by the sea. We are faced with a story within a story , as I have already read in two adventures of Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes.
But if in that case a usefulness was seen - it served to explain certain facts or characters - here that usefulness escapes. Or at least it escapes me. I wouldn't have Special Data had a hard time accepting it if it had been shorter and not one hundred pages out of three hundred of the novel. In his defense it must be said that those pages do not bore the reader in the slightest. They are as compelling as any of the others. I didn't find a single page that bored me, that's why I first wrote that Brian Keene is a great storyteller.
This is just a criticism of this second part of the novel. A cliché in history Only one, but I found it. It's the first time it's happened to me in a novel, until now I've seen it, or rather heard it, in films. I'm talking about when a character says: "these things only happen in movies" and that character is in the movie we're watching. Well, it's the same thing here, Teddy, and if I remember correctly someone else says exactly that too. In my opinion she is a bit overused as a cop-out – let's call it that – to reinforce in the reader the character's disbelief in the face of the cataclysm or threat that she is experiencing.
