I'm a sucker for end of the world stories, so I'm always ready to read one and I know Allison is a great writer so I was looking forward to this one as soon as I saw it. I wasn't disappointed. I don't want to write any spoilers so all I'll say is the destroyer of mankind in this one is different from any other that I've ever read, which was great all on its own in the hands of a writer as good as this, but the real importance of any apocalypse story are the characters involved in the horrible situation. If they don't have any real depth and emotional value to the reader, then you might as well watch some zombie gore porn movie on cable. The author did a great job of fleshing out the main character in this story. You get to know him, by the time the end of the world is in full swing you know the guy and what his life has been like. The best part of that is it all ties into how he is able to survive as long as he does, which I loved.The ending was the only part I'm a little unsure about. I understand why she did it, mainly for some closure I suppose. Personally, I would have just left it as a more solo ending, but that's just me. Over all, great story.
