OVERVIEWAll right, let’s clear something up first. Most of the time, I find the goodreads summary to be beyond adequate, but I feel it’s a little lacking for this book. The basic premise is that Eli and the surviving members of his family hide in the underground bunker his rich father built in case ...
This book was crazy little short read. It was intense and made me *gasp* a few times at some of the things that were said. I liked it. It was well paced, for the most part. There was enough information given out throughout the read that the reader was able to come to the same conclusions as the char...

The plan is to stay underground for fifteen years until the radiation d...

The Yanakakis family is supposed to spend fifteen years in their underground bunker. Six years in, Eli will do anything to get out.I haven't been this crept out about milk since Emma Donoghue's Room.
