review 1: First Reads win! This book is definitely not my cup of tea... I did read it all though and felt like it deserved 3 stars. It is a genre I would have typically avoided. It was fascinating once I got In the meat and action.... (this did not occur until 150 pages in the book and left me wondering what is going to happen...slow beginning crazy ending) I am quite sure I should have read it before I went to bed. A flash of light crosses the sky taking billions of people... A few though are left untouched. This is the story of how some survive. Eerie and extremely slow moving at first... It makes you wonder would it would be like if you were the last person on earth...and whether you have the skills to survive. Don't want to give anything away, but the story doesn't end at the e... morend of the book..... It only explains the beginning of this eerie story of these few unfortunate survivors.
review 2: I really enjoyed this book. In the spirit of "The Stand" by Steven King, the reader is introduced to several different charachters, far apart from each other (but within the Denver area) with different lives, and in different times of their lives. The charachters range from a sweet innocent little girl named Angel with the ability to see "visions" of the past present and future, to a relatively young man named Virgil, who is a twisted serial killer. This style of writing cannot be easy. But, Mr. Crowther pulls it of splendidly. Without confusing and losing the reader. I like the way the charachters go off into little thoughts in their own minds. Sometimes having nothing to do with what's going on around them. Angel and Virgil and several others are eventually fighting together against the rest of the human population that have now (after a mysterous flash of light) turned into, well, zombies, taken over by an odd little alien. The sub title to this book is "Forever Twilight Book 1" I am looking foward to book 2 to see what the group's next step will be after they finally figure out what has happened to the "others" and how to stop them from killing the survivors in a gruesome way. A very good read! less
