Summary

The end of man was not signaled by marauding gangs or explosions but with silence. People simply grew older knowing a younger generation would not be there to replace them. The final two residents in the neighborhood of Camelot, an old man and his invalid brother, are trapped in their house by forests full of cats and dogs battling with the bears and wolves to eat anything they can find. As the man struggles to survive, he recounts all the ways society changed as the human population continued to shrink.

The Man Who Watched the World End is the haunting account of a man who has witnessed the world fade away. It is also a story about the power of family.

The setting of this novel is unusual, but the central character and his relationship to his brother is the main focus. Extremely good

Engrossing and Emotional

It was a good concept. Well written but honestly the ancient gender stereotyping got on my nerves. It was SO male focused it pulled me out of the narrative. Women only keep the house and look after children. They couldn't possible be soldiers, doctors, builders or get any kind of job. Disappointing.

sad but interesting and while enjoying it, it pushes you to think about the futility of much of man's actions.

I like happy stories...this isn't one

yes, like the majority of you all I too have listened to endless dystopian books. THIS is one of the finest bits of writing and the amazing voice acting was sublime. so I gladly give this my full stars.

Would you listen to The Man Who Watched the World End again? Why?

I really loved this story. The world is ending, but is such a slow, quiet way. People started to be born without the ability to look after themselves. The population is ageing, and there is nothing anyone can do to stop it.
The story is not a happy one. The ending is inevitable, but I still needed to keep listening because I kept hoping I was wrong about what would happen.

Any additional comments?

I wasn't keen on Ray Chase's performance. I found his voice a little slow, but that could just be because I am not used to listening to American accents. It didn't put me off listening to the story.

A quiet end to the world.
