I waffled for awhile on whether I was going to enjoy this book. Taking a suburban town and plunging them into a near apocalyptic setting seemed interesting, but I wasn't sure about focusing on what seemed like a normal nuclear family.

I was wrong. This book focuses on the best and worst of us, and how that truly comes out during times of crisis. We get to follow the four members of the Altman family as they individually process the effects of the new normal on their ways of life. I found their reactions to be realistic to how mine would be in that situation and thought that the speed of the chapters helped with what would otherwise be a quite lengthy book.
