Tate has a terrific and intimate style

Thanks for a truly engaging story - it was over too fast and before I realized how long I had been listening. .

Pretty great

Very good story. I like emp fiction. Great fleshed out characters. Going to next book now

The information

At times some of the characters would repeat their selves too much but other than that I enjoyed the read going to continue with the series

It's difficult to see our own reflections

First it is difficult for us as people to see our own reflections. We can see others from a critical perspective very easily, we can not see ourselves. This book series is a journey of a group of people not as many different people would see them, more through the eyes of the writer. This group of people become a reflection of what could possible happen in these circumstances.
I think the ending or last half of the book series could have been better for the amount of time of the books.
The end leaves off with so much more to the story, wondering what happen to the characters, did they make it ? where was this place they were going to? what would it be like? was it the right thing to do? did scavengers or raider show up? what happened to the elderly lady and why didn't they go there? where did they go after the motel? what other situations occurred?. Overall it was a basic storyline if your a nurse or husband you may like this story.
