I enjoyed reading this book. I found myself comparing it to other post-apocalyptic stories such as Alas, Babylon (c1959) and Dies the Fire (2004?), both of which I found to be better written and have more depth. However, when I started thinking in terms of "made for TV movie" as opposed to "feature film" the author achieved an entertaining yet thought-provoking story. It is a quick read and just scary enough to stick in your mind awhile.
