Review: An Unexpected Peasure
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 07 5, 2013
Despite the uneven pacing, this book delivers on its initial promise and tells the story of how survivors of an unimaginable plague might endeavor to continue the human race.  When our eventual protagonist is introduced, Gary doesn't seem like much, but under the tutalage of the older and tougher Hannah, he grows into the role of community leader.  The early scenes with Hannah echo through the rest of the book, and the horror of millions of deaths can be related to in the individual losses Gary suffers as the disease takes its toll.  This book will bring you close to tears at times but the end is ultimately satisfying.
