Review: Interesting Apocalypse Story
Rating: 4 out of 5

The Killing Moon is almost two different books. The first part describes a story of how the apocalypse happens. There are times in which it feels very disjointed, going from a crisis in one part of the world and explaining the different ranks to another part of the world and explaining what wipes out the majority of humanity. But that was the first part, and the second half of the book gave me a far different feeling.The second section I felt was more personal and I was able to get know the characters much better, and the raw emotion I felt seemed to coincide with how I felt they would feel. In many ways I was there during the darkest moments and their slight glimmers of hope. When The Killing Moon hit its stride it was a story I had to find excuses to slink away and finish the book. I just felt so much of its power surging through my veins in the later half.I am a sucker for Apocalypse stories and after getting through the first few chapters, everything rolled along very beautifully. All of it seemed very plausible and like any good Apocalypse tale, made me think about whether I would be able to survive in such a tragic time period.
