I wanted to love this book. When I first read the premise, I was excited to start the book and see where it went. And I was mildly disappointed. 

The writing could be quite repetitive, and a bit jumpy. I had to go back and reread multiple chapters because actions or characters seemed to be coming out of nowhere, or at a pace that made little sense. 

Another thing that bothered me was the introduction of other animals. While it would make sense that other animals were also a part of the Event, it didn’t make sense that humans would treat them any different to rabbits, at least to me.

The book was decent as a whole, and was at least an interesting read. There were a few twists that kept me engaged, and the main character was enjoyable
(despite his constant ogling of Connie).
