This book took me forever and a day to read. While it did take me awhile, I really enjoyed the story as a whole. While it was very similar to the first book it was interesting to see how this incident was effecting someone else in a different state. I'm excited to see what the next book has in store.

6. Personal Response: Being a former Catholic in a conservative community, Alex really just drove me nuts. Only in the 3rd book did I finally give him a break. He felt that without faith there is nothing So even though his nonsensical decisions weren’t really practical during the apocalypse, he stuck with it to survive emotionally.[return]7. Connections: This could be used in a post apocalyptic series unit in conjunction with books like the City of Ember. This would go great in a media tie-in display with movies such as 2012 and The Day After Tomorrow.

Didn't like this one as well as the first one at all, but will continue on to the next in the series to find out what happens.
