Summary: The Best Book I've Ever Read.
Comment: This book is about life. Not just regular life but life without electricity nor parents. This magnificant story is about a couple of kids that survived after 5 years, with no parents and not much resources. There are many great cliffhangers so you dont want to stop reading. At the end (which i am not telling you) is very sudden and breathtaking and really makes you read the other two books!

Summary: EXCELLENT WRITING ON A TRAGICALLY FLAWED PREMISE
Comment: The Fire-Us trilogy is an entertaining post-apocalyptic thriller for those who are too young to remember the fears of nuclear annihilation that came to an end in the 1990's.
Unfortunately, in the final installment, the authors' political biases become all to clear.
For adult readers, this trilogy is an example of the kinds of evil allegations that our currend political Left is willing to spread about conservatives. If a conservative writer were to say such things about liberals he or she would be called a witch hunter, a McCarthyite, or worse. But so be it. The tale itself is entertaining enough on its own merits.
THE KINDLING, opens in the town of Lazarus, Florida. We learn that five years earlier, a mysterious plague called Fire-Us had wiped out every adult on the planet. Although the plague did not harm children, most of them have died of neglect. But a hardy band of survivors in Lazarus boast that "We're still here!" The eldest of them would seem to have been only eight or nine when the plague struck. They have been so traumatized that they only have dim recollections of their First Mommies and First Daddies, and their First Names are only dim recollections. But they have survived by taking shelter in an empty house and by raiding abandoned stores in the town.
We meet Teacher, with her holy scrapbook that records the history of the band and gives surprisingly good advice on the decisions of the band. There is Mommy, who attends to the needs of the younger children; Teddy Bear, Baby, and Doll. Hunter and his brother, Action Figure do the hunting for the group.
A stranger of dubious sanity who calls himself Angerman shows up and joins the group along with Bad Guy, a store mannequin that seems to be his alter ego. Soon afterwards, the group rescues Puppy and Kitty, a boy and girl who seem to be too young to have been born before Fire-Us (virus?). Puppy and Kitty cannot talk, only bark and meow. Angerman persuades the group to seek out President to learn what happened in Fire-Us. They set out. As this installment ends, they reach and abandoned shopping mall and encounter the first adults they have seen in five years.
