(2.5) I had a hard time suspending my disbelief during this book. It reminds me a little of "The Monsters on Maple Street" from The Twilight Zone, but I just feel it was executed as well.


I think the plot itself was very intriguing but it didn't resonate with me as much as other books have. In all fairness, it is more of a young adult book so that may be one of the reasons I found it lacking.

Stwierdzam, że post apo bardzo mnie męczy, ale naprawdę polubiłam bohaterów, szczególnie Henry'ego. Najmniej wyróżnia się Alyssa, która trochę odchacza wszystkie cechy przeciętnej głównej postaci. Zastanawia mnie tylko jakim cudem oni wciąż mogli krzyczeć, nie pijąc od kilkunastu/kilkudziesięciu godzin.

Highly recommend.. Terrifying. Feels like it could really happen. Years later I still think about this book.

La historia te engancha desde las primeras páginas y el ritmo de la trama aumenta con ellas, no dejan de suceder cosas que te mantienen en tensión pero el final se lo carga todo. Es un final rápido y venido de la nada que me ha descolocado toda mi impresión de la historia y que no me ha gustado nada. Pasan de la miseria más grande y la felicidad más extrema
