Review: Lost in the story!
Rating: 5 out of 5

It doesn't happen often but when it does I love it. That feeling of being so much IN the story that when I take a break for food or whatever, I sort of wake up and look around and realize there is no apocalypse and no rain. That I live in a warm dry house with plenty of food and not in a boat going nowhere with nothing but a beat up tarp to protect me from the elements. I think it's the level of detail that makes it seem so real, and the voice of 16 year old Tanner. She is unsure, scared, and strong, with real loyalty to, and trust in, Russell. I love the way they know each other so well they can practically read each other's mind. She narrates their past experiences from time to time and amazingly that doesn't slow down the story. I'm looking forward to the next book!
