A Boy and His Dog at the End of the World By C. A. Fletcher

 Yet another dystopian novel... not my usual thing. I don’t enjoy reading about wars or violent clashes. These ‘end of the world’ stories so often focus on the worst qualities in human nature. 

This one’s not all sun ripened peaches and cute puppies either, but the ‘good’ characters are fallible and believable in their goodness, ‘bad’ characters are self deluded and not always self assured in their badness. 

Dogs in a story always improve it, and there are some lovely unexpected twists.
