A girl wakes up on her 16th birthday to find that every living thing she can see is in suspended animation. She is later rounded up with a very few other non-suspended humans and taken to a distant area, where the group awaits communication from other non-suspended groups. She is appalled to find out that to reverse the phenomenon, the youngest immune human will need to be sacrificed! Guess who that is! This little book wasn't bad. One sentence was repeated in error, and the word "nauseous" was misused several times, but many readers don't know the difference between "nauseous" and "nauseated" anyway. The story ended well, which made me glad. I hate dismal endings.

The Halting is an interesting story about a young girl stuck in a crazy world where everyone has stopped moving but her. At first I wasn't sure if I would like this book but as I was reading it the story drew me in. The ending was good and I am glad I took a chance on this one.

This was a good book. The story and characters are well written. The story kept my interest throughout and I would recommend reading.

This started out so promising!! Great premise and relatable MC but then about two thirds way in it's like they just wanted the book to be done. It became predictable and rushed and I found the ending disappointing.

Good for a quick read. It was an interesting storyline, and I liked the characters. If your looking for an interesting book to pass the time, I’d recommend this one.

Very interesting

This book has a very interesting premise, storyline and ending. It is a stand alone book and well worth the read
