Snowpiercer: Volume 1: The Escape

SNOWPIERCER VOL. 1: THE ESCAPE - Jacques Lob, Jean-Marc Rochette

One of the rare cases of the movie is better than the book. I did try read the book first, but my library had few copies and the line was long. I did really like the movie and recommend it.

 

The book, I'm more mixed on. Although, for whatever reason I have the second one on hold (and it's already available, weird how that happens). 

 

I love the concept, which the movie kept. The world is in perpetual winter and a never stopping train carries the rest of humanity. The book did explain a bit more about how the train came about, which I enjoyed. But honestly, I cannot even tell you how it ended. I remember a few bits and pieces of the storyline, a person from the tail of the train tries to make his way up the train and is caught. A person from the middle of the train who wants more equality for everyone tries to help him, and for whatever reason, they are both called to the front of the train, which is a long trek. 

 

But yeah, no memory of how it ended. Hopefully the second book will have a recap.
