This one seemed to have a lot of potential.  The idea was good.  The story was… good.  Or it could have been. 

I hated the way it was written.  I didn’t like this fellows style at all.  None of the characters came off as especially likeable, or real, or endearing, or brave… or anything.  There was nothing stand out of the four people in the town chosen to narrate.  Their story was sad, something stand out in itself.  And perhaps that was meant to be the meat,  that was meant to be all that stood out.  But I don’t think so.

I think it was meant to be the coping with the sad story, and the stories of the survivors.  

I thought that it was written in a dumbed down style that I didn’t approve of.
