Review Quotes
Publishers Weekly
“Fans of literary dystopian fiction such as Cormac McCarthy’s The Road will appreciate Wall’s vivid, powerful vision of the future.”
Chronogram
“This dystopian novel offers a frightening glimpse at the ramifications of climate change and the degradation of morality in survival mode. During-the-Event is also an engaging coming-of-age tale, pitting youthful innocence against the forced maturity imposed by this harsh post-apocalyptic landscape.”
Short & Sweet Reviews
“Unlike many of the mainstream young adult dystopian on the market today, During-the-Event doesn’t involve characters pitted against one another, a rebellion, or a deadly virus or AI tech threatening humanity. Instead the novel focuses on a handful of characters and the protagonist, D.E.’s personal growth. It’s all about looking inwards; self-discovery and reflection.”
Dew on the Kudzu
“During-the-Event is a dystopian adventure that roams across a fallen United States, introducing an unforgettable cast of characters along the way.”
MSW Books for Readers
"For post-apocalyptic fiction, it is surprisingly sweet. . . . The best part of the story is D.E. himself and his naive but balanced and highly intelligent world view. . . . The hypothesized collapse of civilization seems unfortunately plausible."
