5. The Last One

By Alexandra Oliva

The second loaner from my boss L.

Almost 3 years later, I had to look up the premise of The Last One to remember what it was about.  Since L. was quite stoked that I enjoyed Dark Matter so much, he immediately lent me this “literary” post-apocalyptic novel about Survivor-type contestants.  

Sadly, The Last One proved to be a mild dud.  I recall not enjoying the inner dialogue of the protagonist and finding the secondary characters annoyingly two-dimensional.
