The writing is fine and the book is readable but nothing much happens...and when nothing much happens that tells me the book was written with the intention of a sequel, and that tends to piss me off. It feels like cheating. I liked the twist at the end where the aliens actually came to disinfect the earth...but I don't even really know if the is the case because we were never told. It seems to me they cleaned up "infections" like trash and pollution, including any humans in their path...but who knows. Pod by Stephen Wallenfels.In complete honesty. WOW.I do have to admit initially I was put off by the slow pace of the book. The setting literally NEVER changed for each of the two characters from hotel to house and back and forth, making the book quite limited and uninteresting. However, I forced myself to continue reading as I hate starting a book and not completing it.Oh I was terribly wrong!The book accelerated after approximately 100th page. There is a dramatic change in events that I had never guessed. This completely left me dumb folded as I had initially assumed reading the blurb that this alien invasion will just blow over and everything will be well and truly fine. It wasn't that simple.
Life as We Knew it but with Aliens - makes me want to go out and stock up on toilet paper.

Got told this was a cross between Day of the Triffids and Tomorrow When the War Began.

YA alien invasion/survival story. There's talk of a sequel, which would be welcome.
