2,5/5. The Road meet The Walking Dead in a YA book... Read The Road instead! This book isn't bad at all. It has okay action, respect the post-apocalyptic style and does alright mostly. The problem is that it has a lot of stereotypes both in characters and story/universe, a lot of characters have weird reaction, decision or behavior not proper for their age or circumstance. The red riding hood parallel is a bit thin. And, finally, and that is ma main concern, it just did nothing new, everything in this book have been done elsewhere, many times, and often better, so even if not bad, this book is far from a necessary or intriguing read.
