Hate how often they use “retard!” 

It’s basically a modern day Lord of the Flies meets under the Dome.

delphic's review against another edition

too unnecessarily graphic, was interested in the main idea for the book but found the

the burnt body of a toddler, a girl lying on the road as her limbs turn gangrenous, the mention of babies dying and the description of binge eating

all a bit too much especially so early on and close together

This book is exceptionally readable. Reading it feels like watching Heroes or Misfits and I loved both of those shows.
