I couldn't really suspend my disbelief over an organized band of cannibals, but I was willing to keep going and just see what happens. I laughed at the repeated use of the word "bandit", but kept reading. But when our boy decides on a whim to rob a guy of wheat at gunpoint, I just gave up. Like many...

Dude! This book rocked way more than the first in the series. Sure, I enjoyed Ashfall, but if you read my review, you’ll know I found the pacing a little slow and the story dragged for the first half of the book … But pretty much everything that bugged me in the first read was missing in the second....

This book fell squarely between "not bad" and "I wasn't in love." I was a little disappointed, because I really enjoyed Ashfall--it's the kind of book I recall at random times, and think I will read again. I think Ashfall's charm lay in the strength of the relationship between Alex and Darla, and ho...

Parts of the book seemed really monotonous, like they were swapped out from Ashfall, but overall it was enjoyable.

Via http://onlectus.blogspot.com/2013/03/ashen-winter-by-mike-mullin.html#1. Alex and Darla leave the safety of the farm to go look for Alex's parents. I found this totally idiotic. Why would you willingly volunteer to go out there? If they had left the farm for any other reason (forced to) all the ...

I think I finally have the words to do justice to this book. Five big fat stars, first of all. Ashen Winter starts about six months after Alex and Darla arrive on Alex's uncle's farm in Illinois, after a harrowing trip from Iowa fraught with many perils. Alex's parents are still missing.Alex decides...
