Review: The Characters Make the Story
Rating: 4 out of 5

I love dystopian stories, and what made this one stand out were the characters.  Real people who were facing the end of life as they knew it.  It wasn't a lot of scientific jargon but more how people would react, things that would need to be done, true responses to the normal way of life.  Ms. Druga is a great storyteller, I loved the sequences of how the characters, how she built them to become more important to me, and to the story.  I was shocked at the deaths and amused at some of the naive behavior by a couple of the main characters.  The only reason I didn't give this 5 stars is because of one the main characters.  The Beginning Series is a keeper, and I don't want the series to end.
