Short review, it wasn't the worst book I have ever read. It wasn't far from that though. Well, I tried to read the whole thing. I stopped at about page 122 I think it was. I finally realized it wasn't going to get better.

Longer review...

Character development was at best choppy and slow. Not much you can do with one main character that is such a little softy (nicest way I could describe him). Another character was a cheating wife. You get the idea. Out of the initial characters there were only three that I had any interest in, and of them only one seriously. The other two seemed to be written in as filler to get the page count up.

Overall it was a promising story line that was believable, just wasn't executed well. About the only thing I could say that was good about it was how it presented New Yorkers when things suddenly go wrong. Most have a total lack of planning for when the lights go out and just cry to the government to take care of them. He got that right from what I have seen living in the city. Overall, just leave it on the shelf. Might make good kindling when the lights do go out.
