Do you want to know what happens when all the adults and basically all the people over the age of fourteen just disappear? They're just gone. And no it's not explained- so if you're wondering why they disappear you won't find it in this book.
Now this book took forever- it was just really slow. It's one of those books you see all over and everyone's talking about it so you get it and then you find that there's better books out there...
Now don't get me wrong this book was okay- just not for me. It's for those people who watch that TV show Survivor. I don't know what I didn't like about it- it just felt so unreal to me. I wanted more explained (this, of course coming from a girl who likes fantasy/ horror fiction). I liked the end- partly because it was ending and the characters had this ultimate showdown...
As much as I like books- I don't think I'll be wanting the sequel anytime now.
