Regardless of what some conspiracy theorist may believe, climate change is a real and imminent danger for all of us. This novel revolves around what happens when the storms we see, get larger and larger every year, become storms of monstrous proportions. Massive hurricanes drop tremendous amounts of water on land that is already being flooded by Melt water from Polar ice caps. The story of one family’s survival in the midst of disaster should be a cautionary tale to all who read this not so futuristic, dystopian novel
For fans who enjoyed The Light Pirate, All the Water in the World is about a family and how they survive and try to protect America’s history while living on top of a museum in a post apocalyptic world devastated by severe hurricanes.
ATWITW was more of an exploration of global warming and climate change and less plot driven than i was hoping for. While this subject really sparked my interest, especially with how hurricanes played out in the US this year, i was a bit let down. The storyline got repetitive at times. The novel is told before the hurricanes and during the hurricanes. The storyline living with the hurricanes is suspenseful and keeps you on edge. The author does an excellent job in that sense. I can definitely see people who enjoyed The Lighy Pirate and Station Eleven enjoying this! I was fortunate enough to receive an Ebook and audio ARC of this book. The narrator was just okay, i went back and forth between the two to experience this story.
Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for a copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion!
