Very interesting but missing something

The number one thing I loved about this book is it did not take place in a big American city. It took place in Hamilton which is right around the corner for me and you got a little bit of a different feel throughout this book. There were some things that I would like to change but it was a very cool premise and the idea was carried out pretty well. I felt like somethings just came a little too easy to our main character and would like to see him have to battle and struggle just a little bit more. This might’ve been just me, but I found the storyline a bit hard to follow it sometimes as it did jump back-and-forth a bit. Love the idea of the jumping back-and-forth but I don’t have any solution on what to change for this part of the book. I also found it hard to root for a character, I’m not supposed to hate main character is most of the time but I think I just felt like this character was there. Perhaps more background story? The narration was very good at times but then with other characters it was a little less good. It was worth the credit but just expected and wanted so much more.

Apocalyptic Thriller?? Where?

If you had the ability to swing like Spider-Man, you wouldn’t take the subway. That’s exactly what this book does. You get 2 standout moments and the rest just drags!
