I loved every moment of this book about a lone southern girl surviving in a post-apocalyptic world. Rather than add my own commentary I will refer to this already perfect summary from amazon:

"The language is flawless. It is unobtrusive, but lush and almost lyrical. The pacing, too, flawless. Not a passage drags, nothing wasted. The characters are strong and believable; their motivations make sense; their voices are clear and distinct."

What a huge waste of time! This book is not only lacking any kind of interesting content whatsoever, it's also full of religious crap. Altogether, I just kept wanting to throw it against the wall in frustration. I can't believe I'll have to spent two seminar sessions talking about this garbage.

This book was just not thing. Did not grab me. Way to sexually focused for my likening and really was not contemporary novel or a paranormal novel, Hard to get through.
