  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.5

I enjoyed the book very much. I think the author, at times, tried too hard to walk the line between genre fiction and Literary Fiction With Deep Thoughts. It presented a more realistic picture of post-apoc America than the average EOtWAWKI fare.
