This was sooo disappointing. It was a good premise, but failed to live up to expectations. Too much was covered, characters were inconsistent, there was a lack of information and it was just not believable. It should have been a tragic story and yet the reader has no sympathy for the sufferers. A waste of time.

Potentially fantastic story, ruined by inadequate telling. Simplistic, shallow, childish - my daughter could have written that prose! The research might have been meticulous, and that's what she should stick to; writing a story is not her thing! Don't give up the day job. Sad, sad waste of a good story.
