This story was great ! I read it in a couple hours because I couldn't put it down. Shelley Shepard Gray wrote a very detailed and very believable story and it covers some highly relevant topics today; such as depression, suicide, spousal abuse, etc,. She did it in such a way that you really feel for the characters without it being graphic and in the midst of it all she gives us a sweet story of falling in love with your best friend. I truly enjoyed this story and recommend reading it.
I give it 4 stars out of 5 for the great story line, well developed characters, and for explaining some hard topics. I recommend reading this book.

"This is a companion portrait of the existential man of The Fire Within, but it is the obverse—men facing their end not by the personal choice of suicide but by literally being blown to bits. Beginning in a slow, sleepy town (an extended sequence that was once severely trimmed), it tracks men who are moving toward death on a literal and metaphorical road but whose ability to face the void ahead of them is Camus-like in its indomitability. Screwed down as tightly as a pipe bomb, this Clouzot film threatens to blow up in front of you at every turn. You want to scream as you reach to grab the truck’s steering wheel."

Book Rating
With the exception of the opening issue of this volume (Issue 7, "Moving Day"), the rest of this volume is a snoozer!

The remainder of the book was given to crossovers for two different, unrelated events ("Millennium" and then a x-over with SUICIDE SQUAD), as well as a Annual that should have been included in Volume 1, as that's where it took place!

Other than the first appearance of G'Nort, who happens to be one of my favorite DC characters, there is really no need to want to check this Volume out. Seriously, even you are a completist, there is really nothing here that you could not live without. Promise!

Now, onto Volume Three..!
