I'm not a big fan of apocalyptic type stories. They tend to be too grim for me, and this one was no exception. The writing was great and I read it up until it got to be too much at which point I had to put it down. But truly. Let me say it again. The writing was great. When they're so limited by the format in which they tell the story (emails and texts and transcripts and such), they find surprising ways to give you details that are both crucial to the story and difficult to so seemlessly sew into the pages.

Also, I'm unclear how much of this was my digital copy or if the digital copies just don't turn out well, but there were large swaths of text that were completely unreadable. I had to turn to Wikipedia for spoilers as to what I was supposed to be getting from those sections and that was a little frustrating.

TL:DR - if this apocalyptic-type scenarios are your jam, buy the physical book. It was an interactive experience in the digital format. I can only imagine how much better it gets with a copy you can hold in your hands.
