I have read several dystopian novels, and this one is advertised as being something big and different. The origin/cause of the apocalypse was different and new… But something that is also found in other stories. The condition of the people and their response to the end of the world is pretty consistent with every other dystopian book I’ve read. I thought the writer did a nice job, but there was a lot of head hopping and clichés used in his work. I enjoyed how he pulled the people together and how varied his characters were.
