This book was one of the most depressing ones I've ever read.  I don't mind that the main character is uber-prepared and again and again his preparations are for naught and he's knocked down, but no hope....extinction...really? It's one thing to threaten it...something else to read a entire book with no point...It is written as if someone were making lists and inventorying items.  I don't mind the diary format but as a reader I don't expect this to be the entire tale.  It quickly becomes list after list of people he saves, then list after list of people that die.  There is no happy family at the end reading the diary after a generation of peace and renewal...looking back at the man who was responsible for their survival.What's the point?  It just ends.
