Reviews

[T.M. · Rating 3 out of 5]

An interesting tale of survival in a post-apocalyptic world. The ending seemed rushed and abrupt to me, and the antagonists seemed to need a little more fleshing out than they had, but the main character was well-done and his internal struggles were ones that most readers could empathize with.
