Review: Solid story -- without being too scary

I like stuff like this -- end of the world mysteries that leave most of the planet vacant -- or even one sect of the community gone. This book delivers on the end of the world excitement -- while not being terrifying. The characters in this story feel displaced from the world, like they're not real, which fits with the author's storytelling. These aren't kids you or I know or recognize. These are "other worldly" kids -- with other worldly problems. There aren't a lot of grammar and punctuation errors either -- which is a nice change of pace from a lot of the books I've been reading lately. Overall, if you like apocalypse literature -- definitely give this one a try.
