The Dog Stars is about the struggle for survival. After a few pages, when you reach the rhythm desired by the author, the feeling of the book begin to change and the pleasure of reading increases as you can entirely focus on the story. With its author Peter Heller’s very different style, The Dog Stars is one of the books that forces the reader to get used to its own rhythm.
However, Hig does not intend to spend the rest of his life at this airport, and something that happens to him will completely change his life. However, as the book progresses, we do not delay seeing that this contrast is crucial to keeping them alive. We understand from the very beginning that these two are opposite characters.
While Hig jumps on his plane and looks around, Bangley protects their living space with the defence mechanisms he developed. In his new post-pandemic life, he cares about three things: his dog Jasper, his gun-savvy and strategist neighbour Bangley, and his Cessna model aeroplane. The main character, Hig, is a pilot in his forties who lost everyone he loved except his dog because of the flu. In The Dog Stars, the world has ceased to be the world we know after a flu epidemic and has become a horrible place where chaos and violence reign. The author set the tone of the brutality so well that even cowardly readers like me can easily read it. Let me point out right away, even if you don’t particularly like post-apocalyptic novels or dystopias The Dog Stars is not a book you should hesitate to read in this period.
