Review: Hard to put down
Rating: 4 out of 5

I found the beginning to be a little slow going, detailing the scientific and government response to the discovery of a new virus that affects all mammals.  When we meet Gary, who is living in an energy producing home alone after the death of both his parents, is where the story starts to get very engrossing.  Gary eventually ventures out of his home and meets fellow survivors, and what follows is how they try to survive and to re-build the population.  I loved that it carried forward for another generation (and a good number of years).  I found myself immersed in this world and caring deeply about the people in this world, and had many late nights where I just couldn't put down the Kindle.  Some editing would make this rise from a 4-star to a 5-star review.
