This is a simple, fast read that took three days. Interestingly, each chapter starts with a fact that is relevant to the chapter and plotline. The characters are well-drawn, though I could have done without at least two of them, a movie mogul and his trophy wife, both of which are quite one-dimensional and unnecessary. However, the other characters make up for this. Be warned, the author does kill off several major characters, so don't get too attached to them. The descriptions of the disasters is realistic and graphic. There are few fairy tale endings, except for one unrealistic one that is boring. As stated by other reviewers there are a number of spelling and grammatical errors and one continuity error. These are only minor annoyances, so just ignore them. I've seen far worse with many e-books. All in all, a quite enjoyable read that kept me going fairly late at night. Not perfect but, entertaining and lively.
