Summary

Sometimes all it takes to bring a family together is the possible end of the world.

Meet the Altman family.

Fifty-something Dan is struggling to cope with a mid-life career change. MBA-educated wife and mother Jen has dealt with life’s disappointments by becoming a closet alcoholic. Seventeen-year-old Chloe is obsessing about getting into the right university and her state tennis semifinals. Fourteen-year-old Max is trying to figure out when he can next sneak a puff on his beloved vape and plotting revenge on the school bully.

They’re a normal family with normal problems.

Until, one day, the lights go out.

Mobile phones don't work. Lights, laptops, cars, trains - anything that uses electricity - just stops.

And what happens next will change everything....

Funny and heart-warming, Lights Out in Lincolnwood is the story of one ordinary family and their unexpected adventure of a lifetime.

Pointless

I’m sad to say this book is a no from from me. There’s no real plot to the story and it fails to offer any sort of explanation as to the situation the characters find themselves in.

Monotone and sluggish to listen to, I actually looked forward to it finishing.

One positive being that the narration is good.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
