Chuck wendig wanderers review6/3/2023 ![]() They are mentioned but smartly Wendig keeps that story off-screen to focus on the characters. The president and world leaders are not ignored but they are not characters. ![]() Wanderers while an end of the world novel has a very tight character-based focus.

I personally am not a huge fan of the massive epic 20-pound books. ![]() Those two classics are in rare territory. There are very few books that I think should be 800 pages. It is unfortunate in my opinion because I enjoyed this book and experience but it was anchored to a big of unrealistic expectations. ![]() He admits as much in the acknowledgements so the comparisons are unavoidable.
