So busy feeling sorry for myself I forgot to add that I finished the Alex Scarrow (?) book, Last Light this morning. I was totally engaged at the time but the ending left me a little flat and it all seemed a little rushed and implausible after I had closed the book. There were lots of things which worked and lots that didnt-the idea of the big secret global conspiracy was a bit ....hmmm.... lacking. I can see now why many apocalyptic/post-apocalyptic writers choose not to dwell too hard on the reasons behind the event; its hard to make things sound plausible without sounding like you need some heavy duty tranquilisers and a tin foil hat.

I enjoyed it but am definitely in two minds about whether to hang onto it or not.
