Customer Reviews

A dark, depressing, intruiging page-turner

After Lost and Found this book manages to rise above its predecessor in quality, but delves even deeper into Applegate's dark, depressing, intruiging story.Stranded on the post-apocalyptic, rather inhospitable Earth, the remaining Remnants struggle to survive, though it seems unlikely. How they manage to survive, not just on Earth, but through the rather cataclysmic pychotropic Dream Storm. . . well, that's why you read the book.This is the last book where D-Caf makes a significant appearnace, and where we get our first in depth look at the Alphas, survivors of the apocalypse, and most particularly Echo, and a look our first look at the Marauders, the other group of survivors, although their society is covered more in the next book.The book is extremely dark, especially with the scenes with the older kids, but I couldn't put the book down, and the characters, for once, are so desperate and extreme as to seem slightly more than two-dimensional for once, and the ending only leaves you wanting more. Even if you're not a Remnants fan, this book should offer an interesting read.

Only good for sci-fi fans

I read this book in one day and really enjoyed it. It has a intersting storyline and many deaths. If you like sci-fi books and surival books then you will enjoy this. One problem. Way to short. I finished this book in three hours. Still recommened it.
