I loved this book. I love books about a possible future if a virus hits and wipes out the world as we know it, and how the people who survive the illness rebuild and create new lives. But I HATE Zombies!!! So this book, realistic in every way I would want it to be, was such a good read. I read it from cover to cover and could not put it down. Wish there were more books like this...realistic disease and realistic human behavior dealing with it.
