The.book summary kinda says it all.
I have not listened to/read any other books in the series, yet, I did not have difficulty getting into this book. It mentioned enough about previous events that it gave me a rudimentary understanding as to what has happened to these characters in the past.
I enjoyed how the characters dealt with the post-EMP world, and think it was quite realistic. The book is full of great ideas for shelter, sustainable food supply, etc. There are a few twists in the story that kept me interested, and because it is a series, the end is a cliffhanger. I would love to get my hands on the other books!
The only negative I feel about this book is that the character Megan repeats too frequently how everything will be fine if she can just get the baby medical care. I understand she feels responsible for everyones safety and needs to accomplish something so she feels redeemed, but, it did become repetitive. I understand she is the focus of the series though.
The narrator did a great job and offered different voices for each character. He did very well with female voices. I would listen to another book narrate by him.
There is no explicit sex or violence or swearing.
