Review: Good idea...

But I have to give it only 4 stars for the repetition.  How many times I read the same description of the on going Black Cloud or the damage to Seattle?  A few more than really needed and it took away from the book instead of adding to it.  Shorten that up a bit and it would flow a lot better :)  I am a grandmother and have heard a lot and read a lot and done a lot in my over 50 years, so all the sex talk didn't bother me.  Seemed like normal human reaction to a super stressful time.  I think the way the characters reacted in this first part (hoping like heck there is more!) is more representative of reality than some books I have read.  I was very glad to see near the end that we have one character who is thinking ahead and trying to get a group out and away from the mess on going to a safer haven to start a new pocket of long term survivors.  All in all it's a good read and I really enjoyed it and am looking forward to the next book!
