3.0

Thus started off really promising and it sounded like it'd be a great pandemic type of book. But at some point (probably when groups started gathering) it switched to being about good vs evil in this world that the survivors had to remake. And I really didn't like that. Because the superflu and all that seemed almost forgotten.

also didn't like the ending with Mother Abigail dying and the evil dude/person/thing (his story was kinda confusing) showed that he was alive and continuing his shit with a new group of people.
