Although I was expecting more SciFi than survival / nature, I really enjoyed reading this book and could not put it down until the end. As iAmSimeon says, very "Lord of the Flies"-like. Funnily enough, it took me until the end of the last chapter to realise that it is more romance than SciFi. Then I thought that with no Internet, people would have to find other ways to fill their days...
Great story, very well developed characters, very "Lord of the flies" esque but not so much as to be un-original. All in all a great read especially if you enjoy post apocalyptic scenario's.
Aixaw2002, thanks for reading, and thanks for pointing out the mistakes. I have corrected them (here at least). The worst was the page where Jacob and Jean left the camp. One whole line was wrong.
Finished it. What a wonderful tale. I was hooked from start to finish. I hope you write a sequel someday just to keep hearing about these wonderful characters.
I'm still reading the book and loving every minute of it. It's a great suspense tale and a real page turner. Anyway, I'm posting since now because I've seen two mistakes with names and maybe I'll forget at the end. MAYBE SPOILERS: in those first moments when we first meet Lily, you refer to her as Jean twice. Also when Jean and Jacob go to help the people in the retreat, you refer to Jean as lily twice. That's what I've seen so far. Thanks for sharing your writing with us!
Probably just cache on your end (browser) for the PDF, anytime that you edit a book, it is generated again on our end.
I don't know why you had this bug with the cover though, try http://imageshack.us/ maybe.
Thanks, I did that and I replaced new chapter with the chapters. Two problems, when I downloaded the PDF it did not show the changes. Yet, when I reedited, the changes were there. Also, clicking on the cover gives me the opportunity to input a URL where the cover is. But the cover is on my computer. I tried uploading the cover to my filecabinet at my google site, and then copying the URL to the dialogue box, but that did not work. How can I upload the cover from my computer to Feedbooks?
Just a few suggestions:
- Instead of displaying the name of each chapter inside the flow of the chapter, you should replace "new chapter" with each chapter's name
- A cover would help this book a lot: books with customized covers are usually downloaded more often (I know it sounds silly, but people DO judge a book by its cover too)

Thank you Hadrien. I realized that later, both about the cover and the new chapter. Now if I can figure out how to edit this book!
