Post Apocalyptic (PA) books

I just read a really bad PA book. I'm not sure whether to state the name or not since if it was his first book ever then it was okay but if he's a seasoned writer then not so good. Okay, it was Deep Winter. I had read these awesome reviews but honestly, I didn't like it much at all. In fact, I sped read through the last half while waiting for our tires to be rotated.

Here are my favorites:

One Second After
Swan Song
The Stand

I liked The Road okay but the movie looks pretty darn good. I just didn't think it was the Pulitzer Prize winner it became to be.
