Sorry, but this is the worst book that I have ever read! I read till the end hoping that it would get better, but was disappointed. I suppose that, although I have enjoyed post-apocalyptic stories in the past, this is just too grim for me. There has to be something to focus the mind on besides bad things happening to the characters then more bad things happening to the characters. There is no explanation of what happened. There is no hope for better things to happen. I cannot find any art in this book, or any grace.
