I really appreciated this story. I think Ramsey did a really fine job of negotiating the tightrope between humor and the macabre. The end result was something intensely human. In a time of looming war and apocalyptic sentiments, it was a timely reminder.

I really enjoyed this story.

I think Ramsey did a great job of describing a world that has moved on without beating us over the head with the why.

I also found the characters to be real, and believable.
