I guess "...I liked the apocalyptic LA for sure. I guess "liked" isn't quite the right word -- I found it really interesting. Although I will say it freaked me out a bit because I am moving there tomorrow. However the cults kind of just bugged me. It didn't quite work for me but I'm glad it was a good read for you! :) LLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11194834748090369779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5076308692811460989.post-65034146348699715662012-08-29T03:05:31.027-07:002012-08-29T03:05:31.027-07:00I really enjoyed this one but I think it was becau...I really enjoyed this one but I think it was because of the world-building. I got so caught up in the world and the intensity of each of the Prophet's cult that the annoyances that you mention - which I noticed - didn't bother me at all. I was enamored with the apocalyptic LA that Bosworth wrote about and how well I thought it was done, and I loved that so much. Plus I loved reading how crazy Prophet and his group were. I think I read this one in one sitting one morning while the kids were at school. I don't think I even got up once, not even to walk around the house or use the rest room.

It was all over the place and didn't seem cohesive.
