I really enjoyed this book, even more than I enjoyed the first book, World Made By Hand. I liked the character of Jasper as he developed through the book and the descriptions of food left my mouth watering. while you only get to glimpse on small slice of this very changed world, that is realistic to the characters themselves who don't know the state of the country beyond their own county due to the collapse of distance communication. it is not a perfect book by any means but I found the descriptions of how people survive and live in this very changed world quite compelling.
