Something new occurred to me this time. The only flaw (I hesitate to call it that) was how many of the characters start mourning the world and they are only just beginning to see the effects. Book One only covers the first few months (summer 1980, for those reading the original version). Thoughts?
I think I know what you mean, but the world really was dead. We haven't quite gotten to the polarizing effects that Mother Abigail and Flagg had. The world as it was is over. No more baseball, no more TV, no order.
