I Just finished the book The Big Empty by J.B. Stephens. This book is about how a sickness swept the United States and killed hundreds of thousands of people, the disease is called Strain 7. Some people survived the sickness but only to live in a severely restricted nation. The miltary controls everyone, the military is the police in the new nation. If anyone breaks any crime they get shot or hung. There are curfews for everyone and if anyone are on the streets after a certain time they are shot on spot. Some people just couldnt live this way. So a few people go on a journey threw the Big Empty (the new nation) in search of a new life and well being. This book isnt based on one character but many. This book tells a little bit about there lives as you go threw the book. This book wasnt bad but i have read better books. I would rate this book 6 out of 10.
