Review: Interesting concept, so-so execution

I immediately had difficulty with premise that a 14-year-old boy would immediately theorize that there was an extinction event occurring when those in his environment "just disappear." Afterward, I had a hard time with very drawn out segments of the story that the author chose to embellish to dramatized things (eg. every snow mound, ice patch of a snowmobile trip, the LL Bean revisit, the revival of the dead). Ordinarily I would overlook spelling in the ebooks I download for free but the combination of the drawn out segments and the really abrupt progression by the author into extinction really emphasized these points.
