Interesting characters? Check!
Typos...? Check.
Ending that left me less than satisfied? Check.
Overall, it was a good story and I definitely think Burton has talent as a writer. I think he's a deep thinker and found his perspectives interesting. I think watching a show set in this post-apocalyptic earth world would be interesting as there are elements that strongly mirror our own, though the portrayal of indigenous people would probably need to be changed.
Anyway, I am definitely glad I read this book, but I stand by my rating.
