A fantastic conclusion to the series. :) 
 I loved all of these books, Miranda's Pov the most, which was what this book is in. But Alex from the previous book also introduces himself into Miranda's life. Although the characters in these books piss me off more often than not, I still love each of them at least a little bit. 
 Miranda: Still my all time favorite, she's most like me and seems to make the right decisions which others critisize. If I were her, I would love spending all of my time looting houses and searching for goodies to use, too. 
 Alex: Still kind of a pain in the ass, but it's understandable that he's going through a kind of badass, but more emo phase. Sometimes I just love him to death, but a lot of the time he makes me mad too, he's too damn stubborn. I understand why Miranda fell for him though. 
 Laura/Miranda's Mom: I still love her. She seems to be the voice of reason in Miranda's house now. She's very protective and mother'like, but she's a pretty awesome mom and I love her. :) 
 Matt: Oh Matt. You really took a nosedive in this book. You were my favorite in the first(beside Miranda) but now you're like a whole different person. I can't say I like the new you Matt, sorry, you're too 'angry fatherish' now. 
 Syl: Where the f*** did she come from? Just out of the blue...grrr, I don't want to give anything away, but I hate her. I don't like her at all, she's annoying. 
 Jon: Love Jon, he's a pretty cool kid :) 
 I don't really want to ruin it for anyone, so I won't tell about the other characters. I'm not sure it would anyway, but I love the rest of them too. 
 And, I just wanted to say that the ending was not obvious at all. Sometimes, well, most of the time, I can guess a book/movie's ending before I get there, but here that was not the case. I was guessing the whole time, and hoping characters would change their minds about things, but the last couple of chapters came as a complete surprise to me. I think those who read it will know what I'm talking about. :) 
 Overall, fantastic series, and I would recommend ot to anyone who enjoys survival novels :) In my opinion everything that happens is very realistic and it's interesting to read about. =)
