Very good apocalyptic story and quite different from most of the others I have read. I love the way the two main story lines come together. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

I read to the very end because I was curious, but I wasn't ever really riveted after the first part. Once the aliens showed up, and they were land crabs, more or less, I was hard pressed to care. I also had a hard time telling the initial couples apart, and even at the end was a little unsure who had lived, who had died. Probably if I'd read it all at one sitting, this would be less of a problem. I don't think I'll be continuing to read the series.

3 and 1/2 stars, actually, so I rounded up to 4.
Great concept, just could use better flow.
This is the first book in the Breakers Series. The story was good the writing was "glitchy" at times, yeah, I'm going to go with glitchy. It was interesting enough for me to know what happens in the other books in the series. The story is told from two point of views: Raymond and Mia and Walt. I liked Mia and Raymond's story best. Walt does get more likable toward the end, when you see that he does have some redeeming qualities. I felt like I really got to know these characters fairly well. There were lots of typo's and passages that didn't make any sense, I had to reread them; sometimes more than once to understand what was being said.
Overall, I did like it and if you like end-of-the-world-as-we-know-it/virus/aliens kinds of stories then you should read it.
15+ for somewhat mature audiences.
