Page after page of bleak, desolute, hopeless, horror, despair...then things take a turn for the worse. The fact that it managed to leave me feeling pretty good without selling out the apocalyptic premise that it drums relentlessly, and despite a sad ending, is astounding. All and all, it lived up to it's acclaim.
