Jan 10, 2011 rated it it was ok
I love the other three books in the series just fine, but I cannot stand books with the format of separate stories set in the same universe that never connects with each other. Its one of the major reasons I dislike World War Z. The only one that worked is Wild Cards. For Wild Cards it felt more like reading history.
