Leave the World Behind

I'll keep it brief - I like a book that draws me in and reads quick, which this one did. It would be 3 stars otherwise.

Much of it frustrated me at first. (The grocery list...) The last 40-50 pages... just... eh. It didn't grip me as I read, but reflecting back on it later I found it interesting. A slow wrapping-up of what you knew was coming while hoping it isn't as bad as you anticipate.

I did enjoy how the reader slowly understands what is happening outside the house based on the clues in the story and what the author discloses. As if you're figuring it out along with the characters.

One big thing I disagreed with - this was supposed to have humor mixed in with it. I've got a fairly dark sense of humor and didn't find a bit of laughter from the whole thing.
