About this ebook
En 2067, une mystérieuse maladie a anéanti 97 % de la population masculine. Le système et l’ordre mondial se sont effondrés et les femmes ont pris le pouvoir. Depuis, les grands problèmes ont été éliminés : pauvreté, criminalité, guerres, famines ne sont que de lointains souvenirs. Mais il y a un prix à payer pour cette utopie. À 14 ans, le jeune Kellen le sait bien puisqu’il fait partie de la minorité masculine qui a été asservie. Ses choix de vie et de carrière sont sans cesse limités et contrôlés. Pour ne rien arranger, la maladie réapparaît quand des hommes tentent de reformer des groupes. Et si cela n’avait rien de naturel et n’était pas due au hasard ? Un grand roman best-seller dans la lignée de Hunger Games et de Gone.

Epitaph Road had an interesting concept- but that couldn't save it. I had ten pages left when I put it down and stopped reading. I couldn't even finish it with ten pages left. Here's why. Even after struggling through 200-something pages I can't describe the main character's personality or even what he wants- or why I should CARE about him, Tia, or Sunday. I feel that this book was written to answer the question, "What if women ruled the world?", but a book can still suck even if the idea behind it is cool. The ending was really confusing, the characters' motives and personalities (or lack of) were confusing and unrealistic. I couldn't get myself to care about the character and that meaningless, completely unnecessary love triangle. The book was overall very disappointing and not worth my time.
