Currently reading The Dog Stars and I think the book is fine but it wasn’t quite what I was looking for in this genre. There is very limited interaction with other people, no real conflict, and is mostly just about his survival. I like the idea of what he has to do to survive, just wish there was more conflict. I still have a little bit of the book to go so anything could happen but I have my doubts that they are going to switch things up at this point as far as the overall tone goes.
I read the book Wolves by DJ Molles a few years back and that really struck a chord with what I was looking for in a post apocalyptic book. I’ve seen the Road as a recommendation in the genre but I saw the movie a few years back and remember being underwhelmed.

the movie never does it justice. Read The Road.
As has already been said, read The Road. The movie is a very muted version of the book, not disimmilar to how the movie version of American Psycho is a muted version of its source material.
