5.0 out of 5 stars Review by: jammie on Mar. 05, 2009 at smashwords.com I was pleasantly surprised by this book. The characters are likeable and although there are a lot of them, they're easy to keep track of. The story is very entertaining to the end. There is some editing that needs to be done, but not so much that it affects the story. I highly recommend that you give this book a read. --Jammie
5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant read, April 22, 2009 By M. Green At Amazon.com "I really enjoyed this book. Grabbed me right from the start and really held my interest right through to the end. Great characters, great story...hope the author continues to write more."
5.0 out of 5 stars Surprising, April 15, 2009 By Philip Brady (Rochester, NH United States) at Amazon.com "When you see that something is free some skepticism might creep in to how enjoyable a read it might be. In fact, I put off reading it for about three weeks. I started reading it and wasn't able to put it down. It was a very good story. I hope this author continues to write."
5.0 out of 5 stars How would you survive the fog?, July 24, 2009 By Ruth K. at Amazon.com I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I finished it about a week ago, but I still think about it. The dialogue is well done, the setting is developed nicely, and the plot is not predictable. Some of the things the kids say and accomplish is amazing, but it was believable because they are in an unusual circumstance. I especially enjoyed how the children were able to keep their community and humanity intact in the absence of adult leaders. If you read this book, you will see how they are much more efficient and respectable than most of the adults they encounter. Highly recommended. -

Unfavorable Reviews
one star 2009.05.22 shedmonsterHave you seen that movie The Fog? Yes, so has the kid that wrote this. A bunch of kids who end every sentence with "dude" find themselves alone at some kind of camp with a dangerous fog surrounding them.
Aside from the fact that the plot is lifted directly from a well known movie this book is awful. I'm guessing the author is about 17 so I'm trying not to be too harsh but honestly, think about the stories you wrote when you were 17 - would you publish them? Even for free? The writing is just terrible with the focus jumping around in a distracting way.
If that wasn't enough there are 'sexual situations' which will make your toes curl so badly you'll have to be fitted for special shoes. The only people likely to wring any enjoyment from this one are young teens but the book is aimed at adults.

Excerpt From "Surviving the Fog"
Chapter One"Something's Wrong"
"Something's wrong," said Mike.
"No, shit, dude," answered John.
The two teenagers were sitting on a ledge just inside a large depression carved into the side of a granite rock that was part of the southern Sierra Nevada mountain range. It would have been called a cave, but it was open to the air except for a large room tucked back on the east side. The ledge extended for several feet out from under the rock. The late May sun was trying to cast its rays inside the depression, but the boys were far enough back so that the heat could only reached their feet.
“Do you think that they are coming back?” asked Mike.
“Why wouldn’t they?” answered his friend.
Before them was a long gentle green grassy slope that slanted down to a small river which entered the valley from the east. The swift cold river flowed west through the valley until it vanished into the tall green fir trees where it continued many miles until it fell down into the Southern California central valley. It was a large stream really, but the water was rushing too quickly to wade through, and it was much too wide to jump.
“Maybe their jeep crashed,” hazarded Mike.
“Maybe Jackie is right?” answered John. “Maybe they can’t get back.”
On this side of the river, stood the five cabins of the boys’ camping area plus the corrugated metal roof dining hall, and the Administrator’s A-frame cabin. A narrow wooden bridge spanned the river. On the other side of the river were the five cabins of the girls’ camp, the parking lot with the large yellow bus, and the beginning of the gravel road which led southeast over a small hill and then southward through the mountains until it reached a paved road leading southwest towards Bakersfield. Around the camp rose the heavily forested mountains of the Sierra Nevada.
“Maybe their jeep fell into a canyon. Maybe they’re all dead,” suggested Mike.
