Bleak world, well written
From what I've read or listened to so far it is clear that Michael Robertson is an excellent author. Although not as detail-rich as Crash, Rat Run was well written and, for the most part, very engaging. The bleak, desperate imagery of this post-apocalyptic existence is artfully captured and left me wishing for a longer, more thorough story.
This is actually one of the issues I had with the book, it was too short; more of a short story really, and it left so much untold.
I also did not like the ending. It was too abrupt and too convenient. I thought the story deserved much more attention and respect. Furthermore, the abruptness and "matter-of-factness" about the final scene flattened any element of surprise at the twist. Addressing this alone would have made this a 4-star story for me.
I did not like Mather's narration in Rat Run whatsoever but it seems that he scores pretty highly with many so I would likely try another book. Honestly, there were times I felt like I was being read to by Stewie from Family Guy which made it difficult to take seriously. But even so, he still had decent inflection and is obviously not a novice; he just didn't cut it for me here.
