This book is what I would imagine they would've twisted Life As We Knew It into had it been made into a fim. Based on the same cataclysmic event, but unworthy ipof the big screen unless we can show New York City being destroyed. The only redeeming parts of this story were Alex's trip to Yankee Stadium to view the dead bodies, and Alex's fever dream near the end. Absolutely none of the characters wew likable in any way, and I found myself wanting them to die just to make it stop.

I understand why the author might have wanted to tell this part of the story, but it was a huge disappointment after reading the first book.
