The Girl in Red

A thrilling and exciting tale, dystopian (and we know I love a bit of that) maybe a bit premonitory (a mysterious virus killing off indiscriminately) and completely engaging.
Red pulls on a backpack and sets out for Grandmother's house and we tag along while the world gets wilder, weirder and increasingly more dangerous.
Using flashbacks to fill in the blanks, we never quite know exactly what has happened and the pace is kept up.
I'm rounding up to 5 stars because I feel the ending was rushed yet a little slow - important questions were unanswered and I felt a bit underwhelmed as I turned the last page.
But overall it was a most enjoyable read, I liked the movie references and thought Red was a damn fine hero!
