Summary

The world has ended. At least we still have dogs.

My name's Griz.

I've never been to school, I've never had friends, in my whole life I've not met enough people to play a game of football. My parents told me how crowded the world used to be, before all the people went away, but we were never lonely on our remote island. We had each other, and our dogs.

Then the thief came.

He told stories of the deserted towns and cities beyond our horizons. I liked him - until I woke to find he had stolen my dog. So I chased him out into the ruins of the world.

I just want to get my dog back, but I found more than I ever imagined was possible. More about how the world ended. More about what my family's real story is. More about what really matters.

A Boy and his Dog at the End of the World is an extremely moving story. Perfect for fans of Life of Pi, The Girl with All the Gifts or Station Eleven - Griz's dystopian tale mixes sadness and hope in one unforgettable character's quest after the apocalypse.

I had thought this book sounded intriguing, but I turned out to be so much more. It’s 3.30am as I write this, having just finished this book, as I simply couldn’t resist following to the very end. It succeeded in pulling every emotion from me whilst also making me so invested in the outcome. The outcome was... well, that would be telling now wouldn’t it? Fabulously read by the author; not something that’s the norm in my experience. His narration was utterly perfect because he understood his characters so well. I thank him for writing such a story in a way that leaves so much to think about.

Tired, yet satisfied...
