Review Detail

I was really excited to read this book. Not only is it a dystopian (which I am loving right now), but it's centered around a small pox epidemic that wipes out 99% of the Earth. So, I was completely intrigued and dove right in.

While reading the first chapter, I found that I could not put the book down. The story of Lucy and how she has survived for the past year is incredible. Her bravery, loss and determination was admirable. However, after chapter 1, things slowed down quite a bit and I honestly found the story a tad bit lagging. It was still intriguing and unique, but nothing compared to that first POW of the first chapter.

I almost felt like the story was missing something. There are so many characters and maybe it's because the author didn't have enough time to really go in depth with all of them, or even just a select few, but I wanted more (which is a good thing).

I would've liked to have more depth to the story, but overall it's a good thriller and a pretty quick read!
