Review: The story in which Max manages to cause the apocalypse and the Loser's go on a Road-trip.

The author used an unusual style choice, tearing up POVs, switching them around, going from 3rd person omniscient narrator into character zoom and back to mirror the fragmentation of life as the Losers know it. While this type of story might not be to everyone's taste's I found it an effective and gripping way to tell an apocalypse story.

I particularly like the strength of the characterization in this story. Any ensemble fic, particularly one that utilizes a large number of different POVs is hard to write well, but each of the characters has their own personal way of thinking, and feeling, which the author does a great job of showcasing, without loosing sight of the Loser's bad-ass natures.
