5.0

Broaches tough topics in a timely way though it was written decades ago. I would recommend to anyone fond of The Walking Dead. Perfect for anyone interested in reading fiction that is immersive and haunting because it feels real and almost could be. Very different from Handmaids Tale in the characters and plot but I enjoyed it in a similar way. For sure some trigger warnings listed below. Really enjoyed it!  Was amazed it's not more popular.
