The Things That Keep Us Here

I could not put this book down! My friend, Laura, brought it over and told me not to start it till I had plenty of time to read it. So, of course, I picked it up that very night and that is what I did for spring break. So, really...don't start until you have a minute or two.
This book is strangely enough, about the bird flu. I know...its like a book about teenage vampires that don't drink human blood or something. However, the story focuses on a family that has to quarantine themselves from the flu, the weather and the psychos that will do anything to save their families. Just when you think things can't get worse for them, it does! It really made me think about how unprepared I am for a host of problems that could arise. Needless to say, when I wasn't reading, I was making Sterling shop with me for supplies.
It doesn't help that right when I got to a part about being without power for days, our power went out and I was reading by flashlight.
This book had a very small foreplay part, and 1 f-bomb, but other than that, pretty clean read. I mean, it is not meant for a teenager or younger person to read. There is some gore. But I liked it. It was a good one timer!
