My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Wow! What a movie! No. It wasn’t a movie. It really was the Kindle version of a book that has text-to-speech. But it was easily as good as any other disaster movie on SyFy. It was written from several people’s points of view. We even get inside the evil, bad guy’s head. Yuck! Yuck! But it made it a better read, I think, by being able to see what these people are going through in their end days. post a horrid disease in which most of the population has died. These are the leftovers. But their survival looks questionable.
I loved most of the characters. I loved how these people inhabited their world and dealt with the cards dealt them. I think that is what makes a good disaster book or movie. Show us how we can be good in the face of the bad. Show us how to turn our thoughts around to make sure we are caring people in crises. What else matters in the end but how you treat your fellow beings on the planet?
I am looking forward to reading the rest of the series. By the way, with the Fire, I have my text-to-speech set to British female. That makes everything sound like Julie Andrews is reading to me. It makes nearly every book better!
