Is anyone but me finding this Zimmerman person annoying? I mean, I appreciate being informed of the doings of the Left and Right wings, but this is a childrens book, for God's sake!
Anyway, this thrilling final chapter will keep you glue to the book. The children, now with Cory, the girl from the Keepers, are continuing their quest to find President, the only person who might be able to help them. Unfortunately, they have reason believe her is being held against his will by the Keepers at Pisgah Island, so the older kids, Mommy, Teacher, Hunter, Cory, and a mentally deteriorating Angerman, set out to rescue him, leaving the little ones in the care of an all-female retirement community they find at the beginning of the book. What they find is more terrible than anything they've seen along the way.
This concluding book held me too my seat until the very end. The construction of the novel, as we see the points of view of all the oldest children, as well as the twists and turns along the way make for a fantastic literary journey. If I may quote my favorite line from the book (I hope without giving too much away), "It's all rght, I get it. Gun breaks glass, virus kills all, ergo no bang-bang."
A real page-turner: 5 stars.

What a Let Down

This book was such a flimsy conclusion to what otherwise could have been a decent series.
I was really intrigued with the building of the characters in the first two books. I was excited about the third to see how the authors brought it all together, however it just didn't happen. I felt cheated by the introduction of the grannies in the retirement home. It was very insulting to my intelligence. After all, if women who had gone through menopause were immune to the virus, wouldn't their town in Florida be swarming with helpful grannies wanting to care for orphaned children? After all, within a one block radius of my own home, I can think of 6 people who would be immune to the virus.
I also was disappointed with the weak development of the president and his followers from the shopping mall. He was such a flat and predictable villian as were his minnions. All in all, this series could have really been interesting and exciting, but the authors were either too lazy or uncreative to bring all the elements together without cheating me.

Interesting story but...

This was a pretty blatant ripoff of "The Girl Who Owned a City" by O. T. Nelson. It was probably out of copyright by the time this was written but the entire premise is the same. This book takes a different tact and takes place later after the disaster so the problems are somewhat different but if you like this story I would encourage you to read the trilogy because it is still entertaining, then go get "The Girl Who Owned a City" by O. T. Nelson and see how great a book that really is.
