Review: Disappointing teenage saga, had potential for much more

Oh, if only the personalities in this book were a bit more mature. Instead the author has dumbed them down so they all appear to be in high school. To add insult to injury, all the main characters persistently do stupid actions which put them or their colleagues at mortal risk.I was looking for a book with mature, intelligent people. Instead over half the book seems to be dedicated to narrative or dialog about people with the emotional stability of a political talk show host. The loyalties of all the main characters are so flaky - that it is tough to envisage myself wanting to be teamed up with any of them.It was tough to look past that, but even then there were events that were unbelievable.minor spoilers below:...like the 200 mile walk by the cat...like the perpetual infatuation by group members with Bill the lazy dotard whose only redeeming factor is his ability to piss people off...like taking in people who previously shot at the main group...why would anyone beyond a halfwit ever do this?...like the wolves who only hunt humans during convenient times in the storuI'm not interested in future books from this series. This one was enough. One last positive comment - the word editing quality was high, and there were no obvious typos.
