I love the premise for this book. Take an average family, seal them in their house against their will, toss in a little plague, and see what happens.Unfortunately I found myself skimming through a lot towards the end of the book. I don't want to give away the ending but I think the story would have befitted from expanding and continuing what happened at the end and making that the last half of the book or so. I found myself getting bored of what was going on in the house. I was wondering more what was going on beyond the neighborhood. Perhaps Lisa wrote it with a plan for a sequel in place. I'm not sure...I'm sure that was the intention because the family was cut off from the rest of the world. As a reader, I found it confining and boring towards the end.Although my review sounds pretty negative this isn't a bad book and is certainly worth 99 cents. It's well written and I didn't notice any errors. Just not my cup of tea.
