Okay, so you insist on reading the reviews.This is a seriously good read.  The plot is well crafted, clever and believable.  The characters well developed, you find yourself identifying with them, their actions are both confronting and understandable.  This is probably what I liked most about this novel.  Yes it is has an 'end of the world backdrop', but unlike other novels of this ilk it doesn't make the mistake of suggesting that just because the context is different to now that people will also be different.  Yes the actions are more extreme, but the motivations, frailities and emotion are all the same.The author sets a cracking pace, and I was hooked from page one.  The fast pace isn't compromised by a lack of detail.  The author has succeeded where many fail.  He provides sufficient detail so you quickly build the vision of all that is transpiring, but not too much detail so you become over loaded and the story bogged down.  The writing style is terrific.I read this book in one sitting (way past my bed time - I will pay for that tomorrow).  It is that kind of book, you can't put it down.  You want to know what is going to happen next.If I have one criticism, the price.  I paid 99cents for this book, it is worth a lot more.  For me, I will find another book by this author and happily pay full price.Anyway - you know that button that says 'buy now', hit it now.  You'll be glad you did.
