jadeshea 's review for:

The Jakarta Pandemic by Steven Konkoly

3.0

---

The Jakarta Pandemic is a wonderfully written story about a major pandemic destroying the majority of the worlds population. It shows how the Fletcher family handles the outbreak by staying in their suburban home. I really enjoyed this book, it was a different kind of "world ending" book, it shows how people in a close knit community react to the shortage of food, medical supplies, power and other things. The only thing that bothered me about this book was how the author portrayed some of the character's emotions, like Kate for instance, sometimes it was hard to figure out how she felt when she was speaking to Alex, and the same for Alex, and many other characters. Also the ending was somewhat of a disappointment.
