One of my favorites books that I read last year. I like stories where there are seemingly unconnected characters, but they all come together in the end.
It's been a few years since this book was released. I revisited it this past week. I'm more convinced than ever that it's a masterpiece. It's incredible that these characters who aren't given an awful lot of pages stick with you forever.
I honestly had no intention of picking up this book until I saw that you added this as the book club read for the month...I just wasn't feeling like I would be into the whole idea of dystopian/Shakespeare interaction in the book, but I am so glad I did. I actually loved this and have recommended it to multiple people. If anything, I felt like this was a more believable end-of-the-world scenario.
Aww so glad you liked it! Yea, it definitely felt quite realistic, and I think while lots of people would run rogue, most people just want to live a normal life...
This is one of my favorite dystopian themed book. The author wrote the characters so beautifully. It left me thinking more about life and how one copes up with everything that life throws at you. It showed us what would happen if everything is taken away from us. And that ending was really something! 😊
I absolutely loved this book, it was one of my favourite reads of the past year. I love how poetic it is and how hopeful the ending is, as if when the worst is pass humanity resurfaces and somehow you know things will get better.
This is an incredible book. I loved every moment and I was captivated the whole time. It was unlike anything I've ever read before. The story so spellbounding, the writing beautiful. Really, five stars for me. And highly recommended. Thanks you !
the thing I love the most about Station Eleven is how the end of the world has come and past an all of that, but the writing is just super chill - even when reading about the most horrible parts I never felt particularly stressed about it, which was a nice change from other more action packed media
I love STATION ELEVEN and still think about it all the time. I'm not normally a dystopian fan but I feel like there was something for everyone in that book. Such a great read! :)
Me reading this book The book: virus that kill all the poples on the planet 2020:there is a dangerous virus that maybe can kill the whole planet Meh:fuc#
I just finished Station Eleven not even knowing that it was this month's pick! The writing was so inviting, and I loved the intertwining stories. Such a cool story!
I read this book quite a while ago so I don't remember all the details, but I do remember loving the slow, poetic vibe of the story even though some pretty intense things are going down. It doesn't dwell on the frantic "I don't know what's going on" stuff that so many dystopians (YA in particular, I think) focus on. What I also love, about this book and dystopians in general, is when they're set not too long after the actual apocalyptic event, so that people from "the time before" are still around. In The Girl With All the Gifts, you get this young soldier who was born right around the time the world ended, and he doesn't understand how money works, so his older superiors who still remember using it have to explain it. In The Ship by Antonia Honeywell, which I read recently, the end of the world is more of a slow descent into chaos under an absolute regime. But because it's not one big event, you get a lot of people from different places and of different ages having vastly different experiences, even though the world they live in is the same.
For a future bookclub suggestion: I'd highly recommend The End We Start From by Megan Hunter. It's a newish novel about a catostrophic London flood/breakdown of society and a woman who gives birth amidst this chaos. Great thoughts on Station 11. I loved this novel too - although I love dystopian fiction this struck me much more as a novel about a man's ego and celebrity and how he lost all control of that (just like in Shakespeare). I wasn't sure about the title and the meaning of the title either.
I read Station Eleven a couple years ago so I was pretty foggy on the plot. You brought up some things I remember really loving about it like the way it ended. Also, you made a good point about the whole comic book part being unnecessary because I can't even remember why it was relevant. I loved the book though so now I feel I should give it a re-read! 😊
I liked a lot about this book, but I definitely wished there was more exploration of the traveling acting troupe. I loved the themes of art still finding its way into society regardless of whatever else falls apart, but I think it was sold more on that storyline (which I was so intrigued by!) but then we didn't hear much about it other than a their few performances of Shakespeare. However, I might need to give it a reread because I had forgotten a lot of the moments you mentioned in this video!
This might be a bit of a *spoiler* but I actually really enjoyed the comics. I felt like they brought Miranda's character so much more depth and dimension than she would have otherwise had, and I liked how the Doctor/Station Eleven were figures of hope for children reading. I liked the perhaps overwrought metaphoric parallels between the Undersea and Earth as well, and imagining what they might look like irl. But also I think that more concretely, the comics were a reminder of shared humanity for Kristen and Tyler. She notes at the end that they might've had similarly lonely upbringings, both growing up (they were the same age too, or a year apart) in the wake of the virus with only one living relative, and clinging onto the comics as ideals/parcels of meaning from the old world. Of course, they both ultimately grew up to be vastly different people and had many other formative experiences as well that shaped that development. As always, this was a lovely and thoughtful review. I love how you always manage to hit on so many things from books and give us great, balanced yet still very personal thoughts and opinions!! I think I'd probably like to be a museum curator if I got to see the other side of the end of the world :)
This book was amazing! It's one of those books that just stays with you. I love all the Shakespeare references peppered in it! I listened to the audiobook as well and it was just as enjoyable as reading the physical book.
So glad I found this book through your channel! Station Eleven is now one of my favorites, and I'm actually looking forward to reading more post-apocalyptic themed novels. :)
I literally just finished this last night, I only found it because of your original video on it, thank you so much!! I very much enjoyed it. Something that I found interesting about myself while reading was that I wanted them to hoard anything and everything they'd come across. For example the house that hadn't been touched in decades...I wanted them to take everything, even though I know that's not logical. And I found it terribly interesting what they did chose to take. Another thing was the random mention of things I never would have thought of. For example I think someone mentioned missing oranges or apples.
You should so check out Fever by Deon Meyer, a very similar end of the world scenario but sounds like a pretty different perspective. It's set in South Africa as the author is South African (the book is translated into english), and it's interesting to see that influence. It's written as a part of a recorded history for a community built post-end of the world, with several smaller accounts from different characters scattered through the main narrative, but it revolves around a father son relationship from the perspective of the son reflecting on his life. It also touches upon the building of community, mystery, romance, family, philosophy... etc. So interesting! I will also definitley be checking out Station Eleven, your description makes it sound like my cup of tea. :)

I read Station Eleven last November or December and totally fell in love with the story. This spring I found the audio book at the book store for only 3 euros. Of course, it was an instant purchase for me :) I especially adored how everything seemed to revolve around this one character (I'm not going to mention the name because it might be a spoiler). The plot wrapped up so nicely and I just cannot wait to read the story again.. or listen to it :) I actually really enjoyed the parts about the Station Eleven comics. Oh, how I wish those comics were real 😍 Thanks for your review 🙃
My friends and I read this book I think 3 summers ago and we loved it ! We are from the areas that the traveling theatre goes through so it felt strangely familiar. The relationship building and the culmination of everything at the end was so well done. It's one of those books that felt like a more realistic ending of the world !
One thing I wondered is whether the virus is contagious to all forever or is there a certain immunity to the 1%. Tell me what you think, or know from the books. Thanks.
I loved this book so much. It was so well written, I enjoyed the style so much more than I thought i would. So great! Also I would love a Goodreads group. Just so it's easier to keep track :)
so happy to hear you enjoyed it! I actually really liked the comic book story haha I wish that there had been some illustrations and panels throughout the novel from the comic. I did a video review of Station Eleven on my channel, in case you wanted to check it out (:
I don't know if you've heard of this play Sanne but I think you'd like it! It's called Mr. Burns a Post Electric Play where the society we know today is slowly dying out and the characters in the play connect through their love of The Simpsons. Each act goes further into the future while the Simpsons story gets more distorted. Until the last act where the show basically becomes the society's religion/origin story. Its fantastic and if it's ever performed in London you should definitely check it out.
I'm the planet's expert on end of the world literature and Station Eleven broke into my Top 20 last year. One of those books that sticks with you for an age after you've read it. My only criticism of it was a lack of attention to the polluted land that would be left after the end, i.e. nuclear stations melting down etc. I'm excited to hear that you're reading Wyndham, give J.G. Ballard and John Christopher a look. Ever read 'Survivors' by Terry Nation? It's not a masterpiece of literature but it's a good, solid end of the world tale. Enjoyed your vid, nice one!
Honestly, I didn't want to read this until this video, I now need to read it, the comparison to Player One sealed it, a teacher lent me that book years ago and I adored it and the more you spoke about this the more I decided I need to read this, thanks, I've been looking for some more decent dystopian.
Do you have any other examples of modern day stories being acted out in the future? It sounds so interesting, but I can't think of any shows or books that has something like that.
You wanted recommendations Sanne, I really, really recommend something by Philip K. Dick, imo the king of dystopia. He's one of the most celebrated science fiction authors of all time. Though he wrote from the 50s up to the early 80s his stories really seem to click especially with our times, which is why pretty much every of his books are (again) in print and easily available. Blade Runner 2049 comes out later this year and the first movie (and I guess this sequel) is based on his masterpiece Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep?, (a lot of movies are based on his work) but that's just to name one title.
Was the dragon film you mentioned 'Reign of Fire'? I remember being obsessed with that film as a kid and it was maybe one of the first post-apocalyptic films I saw, and that Star Wars scene seems very familiar.
I think you mentioned at one point that you'd be putting together an End of the World Book Club playlist with videos from.yourself and other people who talk about the books; is that still going to be a thing? Did I possibly make this up in my head?
I also read it and enjoyed it ! :) It made me think of the tv series Revolution that I also enjoyed ! Have you seen it ? The reenact Ghostbusters in that one !!!
I haven't read this yet, but I really want to as this is the 2nd review I've seen and it just sounds so great. If I was in that future I'd like to think I'd be a vegetable farmer of some kind.
I'm pretty good at crafts (sewing, knitting, crocheting, stitching, the like) and so I always think I would be a clothes maker in case of civilisation breaking down :)
I haven't read this yet but I really want to now! :) Also what was the name of the movie where the adults do the Star Wars play? Can't find it in the description.
If the end of the world happened and I survived, I guess I would be trying to bring back electricity and such. I would definitely turn into a tinker of sort.
Am I the only one who had the problem with the lack of conflict in the story? Like the hook for this one is a major plot point and yet the book reads like a "slice of life" story where the plot that follows takes the back seat and you accept whatever comes your way but that's not what you're in it for. The writing is amazing (not as literary as people would have you believe, adding shakespeare references doesn't make it literary I guess) but I constantly found myself asking, what's the point of this and what is it leading up to? (unpopular opinion!)
Reign of Fire was the dragon film you were thinking of where they reenact Star Wars as a folktale. It was an excellent beginning to an otherwise disappointing film.
I didn't like the book very much, although I recognize that it is probably a good book. It kinda bothered me how quickly people gave up on trying to solve problems. For a book that asks "What would people miss?" it clearly doesn't think technology, as none of the characters even attempt to start to restore communications or electricity. If this was supposed to be a reflection on American consumerism, I think it could have made more sense. If you have not read this book, I would recommend it to people who have a background in the performing arts. If you have a background in engineering, or technology, it will be painful how little the characters seem to know or care about restarting technology.
Interesting. I must admit I bought the tech deficit and here is why. Last time we had a major power blackout in my state in Australia because of a storm it took up to two weeks in some places to get power back . Three days where I live. Now the event triggering it was so quick . a few hours very high wind. And only in a small area (but vital) . Heres the relevant bit.A few 100 technicians restored the states power for a million and a half other people who know nothing about the grid and how electricity is generated. Do the math and you will see if a virus wiped out 97 to 100% of the human population how many systemsvof supply and expertise would be busted . We are incredibly interdependent and the most modern technology is reliant on rare commodities. It would be really interesting to read a novel speculating on how tech savvy people could set about developing communication systems that work in this scenario, who would assist , who would resist etc. Thanks for your comments Zack .

Ahahah meee😂

Is someone else reading this book in March 2020?!!!
Me..i am currently on page 242
And considering the current situation of the world ,it feels so strange to read it but i m totally hooked
April 2020 and it's never been more relatable
September 2020! And it made me feel a little uneasy tbh. But I loved it.
October 2020, I'm reading it in Georgia (the Republic)
This is an incredible book. I loved every moment and I was captivated the whole time. It was unlike anything I've ever read before. The story so spellbounding, the writing beautiful. Really, five stars for me. And highly recommended. Thanks you !

your channel inspires me to start reading these great books that you have this one sounds really good too

I loved this book so much. It was so well written, I enjoyed the style so much more than I thought i would. So great! Also I would love a Goodreads group. Just so it's easier to keep track :)
Haha good to know! How do they usually work?
I really enjoyed the book. Loved how all of the characters stories intertwined.
so happy to hear you enjoyed it! I actually really liked the comic book story haha I wish that there had been some illustrations and panels throughout the novel from the comic. I did a video review of Station Eleven on my channel, in case you wanted to check it out (:

Great review. This book is A great take on post apocalyptic life. Great video
I loved that one, I found it when it was new at the library. I live in the Great Lakes region (west Michigan) and it hit home like crazy.
i really want you to do the video of pride and prejudice's locations that you visited!!!!!please do it!!!!!!!
Reminds me of The Stand, which I read earlier this year!
Another great Canadian author! I haven't read it yet, but my wife did and she loved it!
This book is great. I really loved Clark and Jeevans chapters
They were some of my favorites too.
Do you have any other examples of modern day stories being acted out in the future? It sounds so interesting, but I can't think of any shows or books that has something like that.

Shakespeare and cults? That sounds amazing!

Was the dragon film you mentioned 'Reign of Fire'? I remember being obsessed with that film as a kid and it was maybe one of the first post-apocalyptic films I saw, and that Star Wars scene seems very familiar.
you should catch out Y the last man comic
soundslikeknee agreed! I was just about to recommend them!
Gosh I loved this book!
I think you mentioned at one point that you'd be putting together an End of the World Book Club playlist with videos from.yourself and other people who talk about the books; is that still going to be a thing? Did I possibly make this up in my head?
+Kathy Trithardt definitely a thing! Let me know if you've got a link ;)
I also read it and enjoyed it ! :) It made me think of the tv series Revolution that I also enjoyed ! Have you seen it ? The reenact Ghostbusters in that one !!!
ummm that is so awesome that it was Star Wars. I would totally geek out about that haha.
I haven't read this yet, but I really want to as this is the 2nd review I've seen and it just sounds so great.
If I was in that future I'd like to think I'd be a vegetable farmer of some kind.
Well, we'd definitely need plenty of those :)
Hello, I'm italian...so I'm sorry for my English! Where can I find your book club?! Thanks 😘😍
I'm pretty good at crafts (sewing, knitting, crocheting, stitching, the like) and so I always think I would be a clothes maker in case of civilisation breaking down :)
I haven't read this yet but I really want to now! :)
Also what was the name of the movie where the adults do the Star Wars play? Can't find it in the description.
Ahh I forgot. It was Reign of Fire!
Thank you! :)
thats so weird you mentioned lost im watching it now lol its amazing
Oddly beautiful.
If the end of the world happened and I survived, I guess I would be trying to bring back electricity and such. I would definitely turn into a tinker of sort.
Go watch/read HBO's/Tom Perotta's The Leftovers for a similar but amplified end-of-the-world feels.
Am I the only one who had the problem with the lack of conflict in the story? Like the hook for this one is a major plot point and yet the book reads like a "slice of life" story where the plot that follows takes the back seat and you accept whatever comes your way but that's not what you're in it for. The writing is amazing (not as literary as people would have you believe, adding shakespeare references doesn't make it literary I guess) but I constantly found myself asking, what's the point of this and what is it leading up to? (unpopular opinion!)
Can you please do a book review on Ready Player One.
The film you speak of is reign of fire.
I LOVE this book!
Reign of Fire was the dragon film you were thinking of where they reenact Star Wars as a folktale. It was an excellent beginning to an otherwise disappointing film.
Sorry to report it’s one of my all time favourites haha!
Check out McCormick McCarthy The Road.
Its a movie now
This makes me want to read it again!
I didn't like the book very much, although I recognize that it is probably a good book. It kinda bothered me how quickly people gave up on trying to solve problems.
For a book that asks "What would people miss?" it clearly doesn't think technology, as none of the characters even attempt to start to restore communications or electricity.
If this was supposed to be a reflection on American consumerism, I think it could have made more sense.
If you have not read this book, I would recommend it to people who have a background in the performing arts. If you have a background in engineering, or technology, it will be painful how little the characters seem to know or care about restarting technology.
Interesting. I must admit I bought the tech deficit and here is why. Last time we had a major power blackout in my state in Australia because of a storm it took up to two weeks in some places to get power back . Three days where I live. Now the event triggering it was so quick . a few hours very high wind. And only in a small area (but vital) . Heres the relevant bit.A few 100 technicians restored the states power for a million and a half other people who know nothing about the grid and how electricity is generated. Do the math and you will see if a virus wiped out 97 to 100% of the human population how many systemsvof supply and expertise would be busted . We are incredibly interdependent and the most modern technology is reliant on rare commodities. It would be really interesting to read a novel speculating on how tech savvy people could set about developing communication systems that work in this scenario, who would assist , who would resist etc. Thanks for your comments Zack . Very thought provoking.

where does your accent come from? as a foreign speaker, i can't really tell :)
