This was a hard book to read. I got more from the movie (plus nightmares!).

The stronger chapters, to me, are the people survivor chapters. I could do without the chapters about how the military did what and when. Otherwise, it was really good.
Better than the movie

Too many F-bombs for me. Had to quit reading it.
