Week Three - Dog Stars By Peter Heller

Here are some more thought provoking questions to get your mental juices flowing. You do not have to answer each one. They are there to help with the discussion.

The Dog Stars is a serious book about a devastating subject, but what are some of its more lighthearted moments?
Why is it important that the book have this mixture of tenderness and violence, anxiety and peace?

What has caused the end of human civilization in the novel?

Why have the scattered survivors become so savage?
Does the post apocalyptic world Heller presents seem accurate and likely, given the state of the world today?
