This review is based on an e-book galley received from NetGalley.com. This one gets a 6 out of 5 for me! It was that good! I couldn't put it down! I love Mullin's writing style and how he developed his characters. Alex is a believable teen. He doesn't turn into a completely selfless hero as we sometimes see in teen dystopias today. Alex is flawed just like a real teen. He has his strengths and his weaknesses which makes him so likable. I found myself cheering for Alex wanting him to keep going and find his family. I can't wait for the sequel. I was surprised by some of the vocab that was used for Alex's dialog. I found some of it a little far fetched, but it did not detract from the plot. I also wish that Mullin had gone a little more in depth about the science behind the eruption of the supervolcano, but perhaps that will be covered in the sequel. I will definitely recommend this to my teen book group. This is a must read for the fall!!
