More like 4.5 stars. Great dystopian fiction.
Sure I get that a flu wiped out 99.99 percent of civilization, and I get that the entire infrastructure of the planet stopped within a few weeks of it happening because that makes sense, but to go for 20 years without any sort of infrastructure reappearing? I don't know, it seems like maybe not. Then again, it's not my dystopian imagined future so who am I to say? ...more

A great read....
This book took me a few times to read it but I was completely enthralling it once I took the time to read it. I loved it. It was so well written even causing the flashbacks to make you understand the underlying theme. Take the time to read this!
