review 1: I started Outage awhile back and just finished it last night, Saturday, 12-27-14. This is a pretty decent post-apocalyptic novel. I wish the author had shown more proof that what had happened was an EMP. I felt that everyone bought this a little too quickly, I loved the religious aspect. I'm not a holly roller, but I find religion missing is so many novels. The characters were great, Sammy was adorable. The story line was interesting and kept me on the edge of my seat. These wrap up neatly, almost too utopian, but I think we need more postivie in our lives.
review 2: Dee is fifteen-year-old girl after tragedy and difficulty with dealing with her pain, her parents are going on a cruise ship without her. She is left at her grandpa's who has a farm in rural Washi... morengton. Within days normal life crashed down for every one when EMP attacks destroys all electronics and most off the cars, there's no way to communicate with others anymore. Running water, electricity and everything that we are used is gone.Dee finds out very soon that as soon as that's goes people's manners and humanity go to.Together with her grandpa she makes allies with Hyrum and his family. Mason joins them to.What I liked; Dee character she is good, she may be young but from inside out she has her heart at the right place and she shows it with deed's and not only with words.2.5 stars I loved Hyrum family they way they stayed true trough their believes, Angela is a fantastic mom, she gives her children love and attention just the way it should be. We always read about horrible parents and finally this book had a good role model.I'm not a religious person and had no problem with the few sentences that were referred to religion.Her grandpa is a good person and role model to.This book did give some dummy proof explanation about the EMP and trough the story you get some good tips about survival to.What I was missing:More action, the love building was almost absent, because all their work and escape effort were going perfectly, there was a lack off conflict, to make to story more juicy. All the things they tried worked, they were not suffering from cold or hunger. The group had to work hard but I was surprised that they didn't had to fight off more people for their food.The writing is good and I liked the story, the characters are good, I just need more action in this book. I will be buying the sequel. less
