2.25

Maybe 2.25? This was meh. Prequel got me hooked, rest of the book was a bore. Didn't like the characters or the dialogues. Forgettable.

[My bad for reading this book knowing a pregnant woman would be involved. Reading so much about pregnancy and birth made me queasy, I'm not the right target.]

this was basically a parody of the covid-19 pandemic. very good commentary on how people act when they are exposed to a situation like this.

This was a superb mix of horror and emotion, a family drama set during the early days of a national disaster. I loved all the nods to zombie and apocalypse movies as well!
