Why read it?
1 author picked Ashfall as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This is one of the novels I read in high school that stuck with me.

The unfortunate event that takes place in this novel opened my eyes to the power of Mother Nature. My own novel centers around an apocalyptic rain event; Ashfall is comparable to my own book in a way that shows how quickly Mother Nature can become deadly when angered.
From Christopher's list on apocalyptic events and surviving in confinement.
