This apocalyptic novel is almost fantastic. The story is gripping, some of the gory scenes are readable with minimal cringing, the character development is excellent.
The only barrier to this book making my top ten list is the sudden acceleration at the ending. A few more pages there, a bit more texture would have made it perfect.
As is, this is a terrific novel. It is borderline horror, borderline sci-fi. Said differently, it is horrible yet imaginable. Maybe that's what makes it captivating.
