Normally, I am not a fan of end of the world, as we know it, books.  I made an exception for this one because it just sounded interesting!  And, it was great!  Talk about human nurture, survival of the fittest, this is it.  Characters are well developed, three dimensional, and believable.  The science behind the story is clear and realistic.  I thoroughly enjoyed the book.  And, will continue on with the series.Now some things I found could have used improvement...  Cody is longing for his lost 3 year old daughter and writes long, phylisophical letters to her.  Is he hoping to save the letters until she can understand them?  Secondly, his daughter, "held against her will."  Really?On numerous occasions, the phrase, "the old man" was used to describe three men in their early to mid fifties. Had them always panting and out of breath, although they were apparently  healthy... Just " old."End of the world and a point was made that everything of wood had been burned for warmth in the Boston winter.  Yet was still a "flotilla" of small boats in the Boston harbor.  Were they fiberglass?The above bothersome points are probably only nagging to me, and do not detract from the book.
