I'm sure when this came out originally it would have been really scary for audiences, but unfortunately, for me, it read a little dull. It's the end of the world, and nothing really happens though the final few pages are particularly effective. I'm glad I've read it as I do enjoy dystopian fiction, but this one didn't really work for me.
