Ashfall is a story about surviving in the aftermath of a supervolcano eruption. It follows a teenager named Alex and his harrowing journey across states to find his parents and sister. My first thoughts when I started reading it was that the writing style had a simplistic feel to it, but after the f...
The idea of this book seemed interesting and it would have been a good book if it weren't for a few things. The book repeatedly talked about the main character's genitals. Nothing about the main character was appealing to me. I didn't understand the main character's relationship. I thought there was...
There has been a rash of super-volcano (Yellowstone) survival/prepper stories out there and this middle-grade (although I think it was aiming for young adult) story is, by far, one of the best ones out there. Great GSP (grammar, spelling, and punctuation), and very interesting teenage protagonists...

So I finished Ashfall, last week? I think it was last week, I'm not exactly certain. I was preparing for a keynote speech I had to give and the last few weeks are a blur--eh, let's go with last week. I thought it was really good. I loved Darla, Alex is a great MC, useful, reasonable, but not a Gar...
***Note: this review assumes that you've read the book.*** One-sentence summary: a quite serviceable novel with straightforward themes, centered around the only apocalyptic scenario I've ever believed in YA lit. The Plot, so I won't forget it. If you've visited Yellowstone, you've marveled at...
--Mike Mullin, Ashfall Synopsis: Under the bubbling hot springs and geysers of Yellowstone National Park is a supervolcano. Most people don't know it's there. The caldera is so large that it can only be seen from a plane or satellite. It just could be overdue for an eruption, which would change...
I checked this book out from my library after someone at one of my author talks raved about it. I enjoyed it so much that I bought my own copy today--I'm certain that I'll reread it. It contains one of the best passages demonstrating the use of description of setting to convey emotion--what MFA'ers ...
This is a true, "liked it" 3-star rating, not a "meh."This is the story of Alex, a 15-year-old kid in Cedar Falls, Iowa. He's pretty typical: gives his parents a hard time, plays World of Warcraft, and has done taekwando for years. He's just seen his parents and sister off on their way to his uncle'...
