A virus is threatening man-kind and everyone available is trying to find a cure and to prepare for what is to come. Their estimations aren’t looking good and everything seems to be getting worse. How many will survive, will there even anyone left or will the virus lead to extinction?It’s been a full day since i finished ‘To The Survivors’. At first i wasn’t quite sure what to write, my mind was and is still reeling. This has got to be the best book i have read in a while, if not the best book i’ve read period.It was very well written, at first i was slightly worried i wouldn’t get all the technical/medical terms etc, but i had nothing to worry about, everything was explained in a manner that allows me to understand what is happening. It wasn’t long until it felt like i was being pulled into the story.There was many of times i had to put my kindle down and take a breather as it was so emotional (it may just be me as i’m an emotional reader), i can count at least four (4) times i sobbed. I found myself holding my breath on numerous occasions waiting for the outcome.Gary didn’t do much for me at first until he meets Hannah, who helps show him the way and teach him the skills he will need to survive, how ever long that may be. Gary does whatever he can to ensure he survives, and any others whom he meets, providing they want his help.There are so many great characters in this novel, it’s hard to say who i loved best. Gary was definitely one of them, Hannah was also awesome but we don’t see much of her. The twins were amazing. Having been through hell and still having their strength is something to be admired. I can say though that the character i disliked the most was Val, she was such an arse. I won’t tell you why i dislike her so as it’ll give too much away.‘To the Survivors’ is filled with grief, heartbreak, love, friendship, hardship and plenty more. It is so touching and all together just an amazing novel to read. I will definitely be reading it again and maybe even againYou can find my original review at: [...]
