 An emotion that I felt while reading this book was very, very curious. This book brings out the extreme curiosity in me. I find this book extremely factual and find myself learning a thing or two from it. I think this book makes me extremely curious because it is a sort of realistic take on the apocalypse but at the same time the author still manages to keep it fictional. I believe that there is a pretty good possibility, if the apocalypse were to happen that this book would explain the bulk of the situation.

' Getting to know Chris would be like Tom putting a face on the enemy target.' This passage appealed to me because it is very true, it reminds of when people find a stray animal and they say: ' Don't give it a name or you'll get to attached' but you know what? People always end up giving the stray a name and get attached and then boom they have a new pet. The almost exact same thing happens to Alex when she tears her gaze away from Chris and feels Tom leaving her. I chose to write about this passage because it reminded me of a lot of significant things that happen in my life and in others lives.
