Don’t bother
Absolutely terrible. The grammar and spelling alone is bad enough. I can’t tell you how many times I read the phrase “she was pregnant to him.” I can read anything and I had to stop 15% of the way into these first 10 books or whatever. The characters are unlikeable and the story line jumps around. I would be reading and wonder if I skipped a page or something. The characters would talk about something that the reader didn’t even know had happened. There isn’t one character in the whole mess that I would root for. It’s a good premise, but horribly executed. Whoever the editor is should be fired and banned from the industry.

I enjoyed reading this omnibus
Wow! It took a while to complete this 4k + edition but it was worth it. A great story that is frightening in the fact that parts of it is happening today with the covid-19 virus. Let me warn that there are a lot of typos and editing mistakes but I was able to look past them and give this a 5 star review.

June 28, 2020Couldn't finish this one; I'm so disappointed. I'll probably go back and try again another time. Ellen and Frank were both such horrible people they completely ruined the book for me. I find it hard to read a story when I dislike the main characters so much.

An amazing world to get lost in
I never write book reviews but this series has been the cause of many sleepless nights, I absolutely love it. The author has an incredible mind and imagination, and I can't wait to start "The Next Ten"

This is a really good, well written, apocalyptic series! A little fantasy mixed in with the end of the world storyline which adds interest & a certain level of excitement & madness! Great ideas really well done!

Read books 1-10 I'm hooked
Fantastic. Really enjoyable series. Couldn't put them down different from what I've read so far in this category. Twists and turns kept me hooked

Great series
This was a great series. The story line moved well, the characters were well developed and the time travel really kicked everything up a notch!

A reread
I read this series one book at a time when it came out. Thought I would reread it.
Book 2. Denny. Moses. Robby. / Thank you Frank. Andrea. Joe. My heart broke. I cried.
Words of wisdom:
“Excellent.” Henry gathered up his stuff. He’d lead Jeffrey to the chapel. It was a perfect set-up Henry thought, play dumb, act ignorant to everything, and get someone else to do the work.
In a world with limited women, Hal has a group of lesbians.” Robbie’s high pitch laughing grew out of control. “Oh my God.”
“Sorry. We’d better say goodnight. Night, Dean.” “Night, El,” Dean replied. “Night, El.” Robbie did too. “Night, Robbie,” Ellen said. Robbie snickered loudly. “Hey look, we’re the Walton’s.”
I read the cast of characters.... Never thought about reading it before. I was surprised President Hadley was a Republican. His bad attitude and coming up with the extermination of the population (which was a Democrat plan), Agenda 21, part of the United Nations mission statement.

I got this to read after reading the first few, I was hooked...so now I am ready to take on the rest of the series she has written so far,my understanding is that she has written over 20! I am anxious as I have been with all J Drugas writings.
