#42: Station Eleven

Wow.  Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel is one of the most unique books I've ever read.  I can't say that I loved it or it's one of my favorites, but it was just such an interesting story.

Describing this book is kind of difficult.  It's a story of survival in a world that has been hit by a deadly flu pandemic.  The story has several main characters, but they all are some how connected to an actor named Arthur Leander.  Throughout the book we learn how the characters met Arthur.  The name of the book comes from a comic book series about Dr. Eleven that Arthur's wife creates.

This story had love stories, heartbreak, death, survival tactics, friendship, and more.  Very impressed by this book, especially since it was a Library book club pick and usually I don't have much luck with those.

Up Next:  Lone Wolf by Jodi Picoult
