Title: Horrible, depressing book
Review: First let me say that I have read several of Gregory's books and I have enjoyed them all immensely. This book is a HUGE exception! Fallen Skies is a horribly depressing book. Granted, any book depicting the trauma experienced by war veterans can have a tendency to be depressing but every aspect of this book was depressing. The story is incredibly slow and tedious and the characters are not likeable at all. Each new chapter contained more death, rape, kidnapping, murder and general unhappiness than the last. If you enjoy stories about husbands who rape their wives, try to murder their own children, stab babies to death and make everyone miserable, then this is the book for you. Otherwise, don't waste your time or money.
