And there were too many situations throughout that just didn't seem that believable to me - like how they constantly managed to thwart the military and the weepers, not to mention how they miraculously always came upon their loved ones as weepers, whether running loose in the wasteland or caged by the military. Kids upturning a government by simply showing a video of testimonials? Sounds like the rebellion was gonna take off regardless. I really loved the first novel, but the follow-up fell flat for me. It's not like you need to simply raid the grocery store for some oregano and powdered mushrooms. Even if you scratch that lovely quality control and say the hell with sterility - which of course, you would here - it would still be a phenomenal feat to find everything you need and get it done. I've worked in biotech and pharmaceutical. The Microbiologist in me would love to know how a guy managed to reverse engineer a drug he wasn't familiar with and quantify that drug with no real supplies or lab equipment. I had many issues with this novel, but I'll just mention the main one for me.
