Recenzii

A high-concept, high-octane affair ... The conceit is undoubtedly clever and well executed, but what makesThe Last Onesuch a page-turner is Zoo herself: practical, tough-minded and appealing
Clever in its concept and gripping in its delivery. This propulsive book is for everyone who ever thought reality television signalled the end of the world. Haunting, moving, and remarkable
The Last Oneseamlessly melds two of our contemporary obsessions -- the threat of global catastrophe; the staged drama of reality TV -- into a fiercely imagined tale of the human psyche under stress. An uncompromising, thought-provoking debut
Taut, tense and at times almost unbearably real,The Last Oneis both a compelling read, and a terrifyingly believable evocation of survival against the odds
Alexandra Oliva's apocalyptic thrillerThe Last Oneposes another deeply relevant question: How is reality created and perpetuated by the media? Oliva brilliantly scrutinizes the recorded (and heavily revised) narratives we believe, and the last 100 pages will have the reader constantly guessing just what Zoo is capable of doing to find her way back home.
Page-turning and deeply unsettling.

Tense and gorgeous and so damn clever. I loved every second.
Clever in the best sense: Oliva is able to skewer reality show culture and dystopian tropes while never letting concept or critique become more important than a good yarn. The novel is thoroughly steeped in its times-the use of a Reddit-like forum plays a key plot role-but unlike other dystopian novels, it doesn't so much use contemporary times to warn us about potential future collapse as it shows what impact our times have on the ways we think about identity and human relationships. An astute and compelling entry into the post-apocalypse genre
Gripping portrayal of an ordinary person's evolving survival instincts as she realizes she can't trust the reality she sees
Tense, riveting, and timely -The Last Oneis a conceptually brilliant novel, one you'll race to finish
