Brief synopsis (no spoilers):
It's post-apocalypse. People live in an underground bunker shaped like a silo. People fill all jobs that are essential to survival: farmers, doctors, technicians, a mayor, a sheriff, and even an IT department. When people break the law, they are banished to the outside world, to clean the sensors and cameras (the world is dead and dusty, but it's visible using that equipment), and then to perish due to exposure. But there's always more to the story...
Category:
Fiction, maybe Sci-Fi
Why I chose this book:
Recommended on Amazon
My personal opinion:
The story line was fantastic. Normally, when I hit a cluster of bad language, I abandon the book immediately. But it was such a gripping story that I held on and finished the book. I will not continue the series, though. And I don't recommend this book to anyone that doesn't like bad language. One character in particular has a filthy mouth!
Warnings
Language: None. But then in chapter 7, bam! 4 f-words in rapid succession
Violence: Fighting, including with guns
"Adult" situations: Referenced, but not detailed
Death: Yes, including major character(s)
Movie rating equivalent:
R, for language
Protagonist description:
There were several main characters, because the lifespan of the Sheriff is short in this story. But Juliette is probably the main one. She is Superwoman- she can fix anything, figure out who's the bad guy, protect everyone. But she's also fallible and human.
Point of view of story:
Third, focused on one character at a time
Book length:
Medium
Story flow:
Excellent
Grammar and spelling issues:
None
Character connection (no spoilers):
None
For series:
Independent or integral:
Assuming integral
Series review as a whole:
Pass. It's probably good, but I don't want to wade through the language.
If you only have time for one, read:
