Story overall is pretty good, but the writing style is hard to read at times. The style choice is purposeful and does add to the experience of the book, but certain chapters can be challenging.

The blurb on the cover says "Neville out Kings Stephen...." but the only think he has out done Stephen King at is writing a needlessly long book and doing a poor job writing a female protagonist.
