How do you rate a book like this? I don't even know where to start or what to say here.

Let's get something straight first, this is more of a character driven book showcasing people who are lost, who are struggling with grief and looking for acceptance, rather than a book about the end of the world.

It's bleak, slightly depressing, slow and not a great deal happens BUT it is written so well. It's clever, a bit dry (which a lot of people that aren't from England may not understand), full of quirky characters and vivid descriptions.

So, despite the fact that I don't like the end and could do with a large alcoholic drink (or ten) and will need to watch about a thousand cute cat videos to cheer myself back up, I can't warrant rating this below a 4.
