Ordinary World edition by D Mitchell Literature Fiction eBooks

I just finished this book. There are some editing issues, and some other weaknesses, such as a total lack of law enforcement in the region where the story unfolds. The author's writing style seemed to evolve over the course of writing this book. In the later parts of the novel, I noticed, he began incorporating more sensory information that painted more detailed settings. Some, but not all, of the characters were a bit two dimensional.

It was refreshing to read a book about economic collapse that did not incorporate any superhuman former Navy Seals or martial arts experts. The author does a very good job of pointing out what is important, and how Americans expend most of their energy pursuing things that do not fall into that category. I very much enjoyed the book and would recommend it.

Ordinary World edition by D Mitchell Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews

There were a few things that it became obvious that the author had no real experience with. The one thing that stuck with me as being full of it was his statement about the chickens. Anyone that raises chickens keeps at least two males on hand in case something happens to the main bird. In a situation they were supposedly in then keeping more than one was imperative. And keeping them warm? Give me a break, chickens have the best insulation in the world, feathers.

And if they were so prepared why did they not understand that something could happen to the solar and that having an emergency supply on hand was important? I live where I get city water yet I have a well and water set aside in case of weather events.

Why were cold frames not utilized? Why was straw not available to protect tender plants?

I enjoyed the read but there were some obvious flaws in the story line.
I've come to be friends with the author over the last year (2016-17). So I was definitely interested in reading D.J. Mitchell's literature when I discovered he was an author. Ordinary World seems very much based on the author's experience of real life, for example raising goats, living in Utah, married/divorced life and children, etc. But where fiction begins and truth ends is not always so clear. Mitchell imaginatively narrates a post-apocalyptic story grounded in the context of the 21st century, United States, South-Western rural country-side. It's based on the premise what if the cultural, religious, and political Powers collapse--what then? How shall people survive? Sure, there were moments where the story felt implausible, the biker-gang encounters for example, but overall the action-packed plot drove me onward to the last page. Thematically, Ordinary World posits these sorts of questions What are the realities of the human condition? i.e. the "ordinary world." What is good? What is evil? How does life and death, mortality, impact one's sense of morality? What vocations bring true fulfillment? What is necessary for humanity to thrive in harmony with Planet Earth? Why are some people fascinated with The End of Days? How shall we mediate between the traumatic existence of human life with the hope for a better future?

Questions for the author How does post-apocalyptic literature promote or challenge Zionism (1-5)? Are you descended from Miles Standish, a mercenary hired by the Pilgrims, who possibly helped to dig graves, or is this fiction (45)? Is the story of the Ghost Rabbit original or based upon indigenous-American folklore (165-7)? How does US colonialism impact the ending of the story, where the main characters attribute their survival to the graciousness of God...yet the native-people's expulsion from the land by settlers centuries earlier is not mentioned? Were the Dark Ages actually "dark" (277)? Why do you feel like you never belonged (302)?
This story really hit home with me as a father and as a husband. Bill, our protagonist and narrator, is a peaceable man trying to make a living as a small time cheese maker in Utah. His wife, Gracie, is his strength and she is a bastion of wisdom and common sense. I didn't care much for the tarot reading (not against it just didn't seem to fit), and the one major conflict between Bill and the ghost from his past seemed a little far fetched, but the majority of the story just seemed to flow very well. This family and group of friends are subjected to the stress of both a financial breakdown and Mother Nature's wrath, and the underlying theme of man's submission to God's will was well written.

Some fo the finer details of goat raising and cheese making were interesting in small doses and the author did a great job of transporting the reader to the cold desert lands of Utah. As an aside, I wonder how anybody can stand to live there, financial breakdown or not, but since the author seems to make it work I will defer to his better knowledge. Just seemed awfully cold. Anyway, this is a nice story about surviving tough times and finding your faith. If you are looking for a lot of "Mad Max", aside from one instance, you may be disappointed. This is more about a community coming together, not falling apart.
