Ghost Country by Patrick  Lee
My rating:
didn't like it it was ok liked it really liked it it was amazing
add to my books
I read this book, the second in a series, or a trilogy, without having read the first book, but I was immediately hooked. What a unique take on Armageddon! Mr. Lee's words evoked such a vivid image of the US following global disaster.

This book was a bit more "scattered" and not as focused as The Maze Runner. The pacing wasn't as brisk. Still, I confess to being hooked by this trilogy, and am eagerly awaiting the next books. James Dashner is keeping me guessing with all the ins an...more
