This book has a cool gimmick. This book is more than a cool gimmick. This author duo has piloted the most successful version of serial fiction I've seen since the Green Mile.The story is divided up into 100 page "episodes" with around 7 of these to a "season." They are done with season two now. The success of the series (for my money) is based mostly on the cool and eerie plot concept. In a flash, most of the Earth's population disappears. The people who are left, struggle to figure out what the freak happened.Do to the 100 page episode format the writers have a chance for a crazy, mind blowing ending every 100 pages.  Both the plot and the format combine to create page-turning, pulse-pounding evenings of reading. Consider Yesterday's gone your Netflix replacement for the next few weeks, and enjoy.*Tip: buy these episodes as "season one" and "season two" for best economy. Read it! Review it! Share it!
