Review: Great Story-Bad writing
Rating: 3 out of 5

This book is about two families and how they survive a plague. The author demonstrates excellent knowledge of weapons, and medicine. The plot moves quickly and keeps the reader engrossed in the events. There is a lot of foul language and sexual innuendo that make this book inappropriate for younger readers.SPOILER ALERT:  The dynamics of the family is strange to begin with and gets worse when Debbie first asks Stephanie to share a bed with her and her husband and becomes quite unbelievable when a set of twins, an infant, a toddler and Angela are added.The author spends too much time showing the family dynamics and interactions to the point of boring the reader.The character Bruce is a nurse by trade but also is ex-military, arms expert and dealer, teacher, and martial arts expert.  His violent tendencies make you wonder how he managed to keep his job at the hospital as shown in the first book.I know many reviewers have already commented on the technical problems with this book. This book is a great read if you can get past the numerous spelling and grammatical errors. It is apparent the writer relies heavily upon built in spell and grammar checkers. These are great tools but do not compare to taking time to edit and proof reading. If you are uncertain of your grammar skills ask a trusted friend to read the book.Examples of problems. The author often uses words inappropriately such as to, two, and too; they, the, and then.  The incorrect use of punctuation such as in ma-am instead of ma'am make it hard to read this book.  I wanted to scream at the writer to spend some time proof reading his work before publishing it.  It is very apparent the writer needs to brush up on grammar, word usage, punctuation and spelling.
