It's hard to say how realistic this LDS end-of-the-world story is overall, but it certainly made me think about possibilities and preparedness and what my family might do in certain situations. A great story - looking forward to the sequel!

In the end, I loved this book. But I had some major troubles with it in the beginning.
There are some serious editing errors throughout the first 50 pages. Several paragraphs where there are mixed-up tenses, which is one of my biggest book peeves ever. There's also a few lines that fall very short - one, I couldn't tell if it was supposed to be a joke or just a typo ("cemetery," I corrected him. No.)
BUT. I really liked this book. I liked Amelie's guts. I liked the story a lot. I am excited to see where the series goes.
I bought this for my 16 year old sister and I am 99% sure she will love it. I'm a little too old for it *sniffle* but I still enjoyed it. Mostly. Except the mixed tenses thing.
I've been a long time blog follower of The Damsel (Hovley) and I love her sense of humor. So. There's that too.
