Honestly, it took me a while to get into the book (I often find that disaster stories just don't tend to grip me as much as others because their plots are always pretty straightforward & similar by nature), but the climax really pulled through. I ended up caring about most of the remaining characters and really enjoyed the resolution.

It was obvious the author was going to kill off the two obnoxious, shitty men though. Was it both expected and unrealistic? Absolutely, but I'm glad she cut the dead weight.
