This book was nowhere near what I was expecting. While the idea of the story was interesting, the main character really brought this book down. I just had a few issues while reading this that I wish hadn't happened.
The thing I didn't like:
1. Ruby. Her priorities where no in the right place. The rain is killing people and all shes cares about it her phone and makeup. She was just not in the right mind set, the only reason she lived was due to luck.
2. How nothing was really explained. I guess I was wanting more science. As in why were plants and animals not affected? Is a cure even possible? Are some people immune?
The things I did like:
1. The basic Idea. I picked this up because I thought it sounded interesting. I still feel that the idea of rain that kills is interesting, it just need a bit of tweaking.
2. Darius. It seems to me that he was one of the only characters in the entire book thinking reasonably, but even he had time where he wasn't.
All in all this book was just ok. I'm not entirely sure I will be picking up the second book. I have heard that Ruby finally starting thinking rationally, and that it is much better than the first. I'm till curious to how it all ends, so who knows.
