Really ! This book is set in the 1980's and I am supposed to believe that kids still rode ponies to school ! At this point in the book, which is early on, I knew it was going to be a disappointing read. Even if I could get over the whole 'hick' factor, the writing & narrative was awful. I love post apocalyptic stories, I couldnt even like this one. A few wks after I figure out its the end of the world, one of my first survival thoughts wouldnt be "lets grow cotton, so I can spin my own wool for clothes"?? ARGH
