An fast, enjoyable read, I liked the style it was written, in the way that it was as if Ellie was sitting down to keep an account of everything that happened. It flowed really nicely, and it didn't get boring in places. (Even the bits that were void of action, 5he group were still planning and trying to build their base to survive which was really interesting.) It wasn't too exciting for me only because i had seen the movie first (which I loved) and I knew what was going to happen. But I can't wait to read the rest if the series as all that will be brand new to me.
