An interesting book, which kept me going back to read it so I could find out how it all ended. I also kept an eye out for the interesting mistakes the author made.

Just one example, late in the book the main character looks at two photographs taken with a Polaroid camera, which surprisingly still works. But the problem here is not the camera, it is the photographs. One is of the college-aged survivors taken after the final battle. The other is their class graduation photo taken "two days before." Yet, months earlier in the book all the schools were closed.

And the main character looks at the photos of the "eighty-one" survivors and examines their faces. Well, I once had a Polaroid, and to look at the faces of 81 people in a photograph taken with a Polaroid I would need a microscope.

I don't anticipate reading the rest of this series.
