This is my all time favorite post apocalyptic series. The reality of what can happen and the characters are so true and interesting. I sometimes wonder if I would have made the right choice as to whether to go with Jim and company or to make the choice Alice and Rebecca did. I so identified with the character Randy at the beginning of series. I probably would not have been so revengeful later on in the story. I would like to think I wouldn’t be. But I can certainly understand her motivation. Wish I knew someone like Jim in my life. I can only hope Mr. Horton writes a Book 6 in this series.
