Publisher Description
The end of man was not signaled by marauding gangs or explosions, but with silence. People simply grew older knowing a younger generation would not be there to replace them. The final two residents in the neighborhood of Camelot, an old man and his invalid brother, are trapped in their house by forests full of cats and dogs battling with the bears and wolves to eat anything they can find. As the man struggles to survive, he recounts all the ways society changed as the human population continued to shrink—the last movie Hollywood ever made, the last World Series that was played, how governments around the world slowly disbanded. THE MAN WHO WATCHED THE WORLD END is the haunting account of a man who has witnessed the world fade away. It is also a story about the power of family.

Strangely mesmerizing
Read in one day, kept hoping it would get better but never did.
Throughly depressing....but a satisfying read
Interesting take on the end of the world. A bit depressing, no, really depressing when you think about. Does humanity go out with a bang, or a whimper?
That being said, I thought it was a simple soul searching read.
