It was pretty good. It's not really "scary" like jump scare it's like people are crazy and this could be real life one day kinda scary. It's esentially about a natural disaster happening and what people do to survive being stuck in a place. The book is told in interviewed stories from survivors. I haven't read/ listened to a book like that yet so I enjoyed it being different and new to me. And I really enjoyed the audio version. Both narrators were great. I just didn't like how the author referred to "big girls" as he puts it. At first I thought it was just one character being a dick but then it kept happening with other characters in different chapters. It wasn't like the worse I ever heard, it was like " what was her name, Sadie or Sarah idk I always get big girls names mixed up" idk why this stuck with me and gave me the ick but I just didn't have tolerance for it.  Otherwise not a bad read. Just wasn't as effed up or tense or gripping as I was hoping.
