Finished at last ! That was really, really long. I don't mind long books, but sometimes the pace here wasn't the best. I'm thinking the cut version might be a bit more interesting, to me anyways. 
 So what did I think ? That it wasn't too bad, not bad at all even. The first part, with the transmission of the plague, is really well done, although it did last a bit long. I thought we'd get to spend more time on Boulder and how the new society is formed, but no. The characters are OK, most of them usual Stephen King archetypes, I did like Nick Andros though. 
 All in all I did like it, although I would not read it a second time.
