I just could NOT get into the storyline and characters. Finally, after things actually started happening (about 1/3 way through the book), it caught my attention....a little. <br /> <br />However, the ending left something to be desired. :-( So....skip to the middle 1/3 and read until the last chapter or two. Man, I was disappointed in this book after so many positive reviews. Rating: 2 / 5 I quit reading this book three separate times. I just could NOT get into the storyline and characters.

I found the sentence structure and grammer to be so annoying as to make the book difficult to read. the premise, however, was interesting but the ending fizzled out. <br />Sorry abouy the brief comments, but unlike others I don't like typing on my kindle.

It dragged on at times. And there was a lot of repetition when he was describing what the characters were going through. The underlying story was entertaining.

It mostly seemed like a worn out reworking of old memes that have been worked to death before. Not a terrible book, but you can do better.

I almost gave up several times as I read through several pointless chapters (and characters) mostly in the first half of the book. <br /> <br />It's actually not a bad story if you throw away half of the book. Just skip any chapters that take place in New York, New Jersey, or Virginia. It's simplistic survivor horror stories that feel disconnected. I would give it a 3.5 out of 5, but I was forced to discard half the book, so it's only 1.75 (ok, 2). <br /> <br />Also don't understand why the author decided to timestamp every chapter but stopped at the month. If the author wanted to establish a timeline, why not give us more than merely "December" or "January"? Rating: 2 / 5 I read it to the end, but this book almost defeated me.
