[The Disease] by [George Hamilton] was a medical thriller that pits government loyalty versus the good of humanity. I would like to say this was a post apocalyptic story but sadly I can see events like this being possible today.

The characters of Olga and Ludmilla face choices that will not only affect them but possibly the entire world. The setting is an Eastern European nation while a pandemic rages. Ludmilla is a doctor and "Daughter of the Nation", while Olga her daughter is a dissident. Who can be trusted and what is the right choice are themes throughout this novel.

You know how after watching Narnia you want to climb in your wardrobe and go there as well? That is the exact feeling watching this movie gives you.

Absolutely amazing movie definitely one of thos that you can re watch multiple times and never get sick of it.

Post apocalyptic scenario where all entertainment is in the digital world - amazing the way they portray it. Just makes you wish you could put on one of the costumes and try it yourself.

It definitely keeps you guessing and also very action packed.

I normally love a dystopia/post-apocalyptic story, filled with engaging characters and an interesting plotline.

Unfortunately, for me, this one fell flat. The storyline didn't pull me in right away (or ever, if I'm being brutally honest) and I didn't connect with the characters or their plight to escape Inside.

I was just determined to not have another DNF so I persevered and finished it last night.

I've also tried reading one of the author's other works and I couldn't get into that either so I think this will be the last and only book I read by Maria V. Snyder

Deep meaningful situations
I find Dmitry one of the best authors I've ever read. His type of writing keeps you in the story terribly. He's way to easy to read do you end up lost in pages for hours not even realising it. There's no hard bits to go through, just one amazing idea of post apocalyptic world and human kind trying to deal with its consequences. Next to the great thought of the system of an underground survivers, there are plenty of moments where the author is focusing on human kind and it's weaknesses, twitches and their behaviour.
