Originally I purchased this book because I was bored and have read the vast majority of post-apocalyptic fiction on Kindle. To be honest, I didn't have high hopes. Boy, was I pleasantly surprised!The characters are well developed, there is action but not too much of it, and the book isn't filled with brand-name descriptions of every tool and weapon ad nauseum. I really liked the premise of the story and enjoyed reading every word - the plot keeps pulling you in with every page.Since I just purchased the book this week I probably have a "more edited" version than some previous reviewers mention; even so, there were a few typos and misuse of the apostrophe, but not enough to detract from the enjoyment of reading the story. As a retired newspaper editor, I spot errors very quickly and have often stopped reading a book when there are too many mistakes to allow me to immerse myself in the story. This was not the case here and I congratulate Ms. Shaw for a great read.
