The really sad thing about this book is not how terrifying the situation is (which it absolutely is), its how, even in this time of crisis, the people inside the diner continue their petty disagreements and jealousies and can't come together in the face of danger. They selfishly do things that could get the others killed, and instead of working together, they actively work against each other.

A sad portrait of human nature at its worst.

Riveted_Reader_Melissa Sounds like what makes all those apocalyptic series so interesting, there may be less humans and more danger, but the stories always seem to bring into focus both our biggest strengths and weaknesses. I'll keep my eye open for this one to try it. 8y
