The Last Ship
I have never read a book that has illicited such deep feelings. Never have I enjoyed the story so much and wanted to strangle the author. Somewhere along the line someone bought a thesaurus for the author and in that light he commenced to use every word in that thesaurus!! At times I had to search.
Many, many years ago I was standing in the local library without any definite idea of what book I wanted to read and I thought perhaps I would just start at "A" and work my way along. This book was th
e first one I chose. Yes, yes I know, William Brinkley isn't found under the letter "A". There was a group of overly chatty women standing in front of "A" and part of "B" so I just moved along to the first clear shelf. The Last Ship is a post-apocalyptic novel - almost comical in its view of how the men and women on the "last ship" to survive would behave. William Brinkley spent his career in the navy and he seems to have no concept of how non-military people think and feel. Add to that a pompous writing style and misogynistic tendencies and you have the reason I didn't continue with my plan to read books in the order they appear on library shelves.
