Curious. This sounds like the type of book I would not read, so thank you for the review. While I don't have anything against dystopian per se, I would want it to be fleshed out more. Give me a reason to empathize with the characters.

Too bad it's so short, this looks like a really interesting premise. I'm glad it wasn't bad though. Great review!

Great review. Congrats to the author on being BOTD. I love apocalyptic stories and with a family trying to survive after a nuclear holocaust that causes humans to mutate I'm in! This book is just the kind of story I read on a regular basis. Thanks for making it free today.

Thanks for the review. While I am not a big fan of post-apocalyptic novels, this one just doesn't sound quite as good as some other reviews I have read for different books. I imagine that people who like this type of genre may be more into the storyline, but to me the description seems just a little to drab and boring.

I like your take on this book. I generally like reading these kinds of dystopian post apocalyptic stories but it's a shame about the editing. Thanks for the review!

Thanks for the review. It is hard to imagine what would happen 200 years after the world is annihilated by nuclear weapons of mass destruction. But that is what fiction is all about. Interesting to read.

I read a post apocalyptic book once that was short in length and I felt as you do...it needed to be longer to really flesh out the story. That being said, this one definitely sounds like a book worth checking out, as it sounds like an amazing story. Great objective review!

It's not too common to have a mother as an action protagonist. How interesting. Nice review.

[*]Great review. I do enjoy post apocalyptical books now and again and I like the fact that this one is 'different'. Paris sounds like an interesting character too.
