I love this narrator and have listened to many of the dystopian books he has done. This started as a good book but a couple of times it started taking the tin foil hat conspiracy tract. There was no need for it. The book was good without having to add that. I kept listening hoping we could get past that part and move more to the survival at the end of the world part. I give it the 2 1/2 because I’m worried this is going to turn into the government is letting this happen and helping it along to take over the world (foil hat). I will try the next one but if it takes the tin foil hat turn ill send that one back and quit. That will be a shame because without it that its a very good book.
