I'm giving the book three stars because I finished reading it.  After getting through about 30% of the book I started skipping the 'voices in her head segments' with sister Patrice and her father.Really didn't pay much attention to the usual details such as punctuation, etc. since I was skipping the above referenced parts.There are some things I felt could have been expanded on, in particular what the person in the future's world was like and interweave it into the story.  I didn't care for the weak nature of the primary character.  Someone knocks on the shelter door and she urinates on herself? While safely locked inside?  The crazy thoughts she had and the whole weird spider thing was a tad much.  A woman who loves and is separated from her child will walk through the fires of hell to find the child. She will do whatever it takes and take out anyone who gets in the way.  Except this one.  She spends the majority of the time afraid while in the safety of the shelter.The author has a nice vocabulary, but at times it can get a little flowery.  It appears the woman's 'adventures' become the basis for some form of religion, at least that's the impression I got. Not sure where the author is going in future episodes, but I sincerely hope it's not in the same diary format as this one.
