Post-apocalyptic fiction is one of the most wide-ranging genres, as the end of the world has preoccupied many a creative mind ever since the dawn of human speech, thought and writing. Jo McCarty succeeds in breathing fresh air into the genre with the story of Louie, a man who has been trying to end his life since a personal tragedy wrecked his life. The catch? He cannot. Louie cannot die, no matter how much he tries to, and this gives his story so much heft. He and his love interest, Katherine, are, as other reviewers have pointed out, akin to a modern-day Adam and Eve, seeking to survive and build a future in a world where life and death are no longer as clearly delineated as we know them to be. This postapocalyptic thriller with a huge heart stands out for its poignant take on suicidal tendencies, which is why I believe it to be destined for classic status in the future. A tense, yet tender-hearted tale of how the world could end and begin anew, CALL ME ADAM is a masterpiece. Solid ten out of five!

this uses the post-apocalyptic survival thriller elements in this book. The characters were everything that I was hoping for based on the description. I enjoyed the overall feel of the world and thought the characters worked with this. I thought the horror elements worked well and was glad I got to read this. Jo McCarty has a great writing style and able to create characters that I cared about.
