Loved this book! It was an all-night cover to cover read.

I recently have become interested in disaster prep and survival. I sometimes wonder if the teenagers I know have any idea how privileged they are to live in a time and place where life is relatively easy and they don't have a constant struggle to get the basics of food, water, shelter and sanitation. This book deals with tragedy and loss on a massive scale, and while people might debate the likelihood of anything like this happening, I think many of the hardships people underwent were realistically described and could happen in several scenarios.
