Checked out The Eleventh Plague from my local library this morning and just finished it (it's only a couple hundred pages in ebook form). It's the debut novel of Jeff Hirsch, published in September, I believe -- YA, post-apocalyptic, and the first few pages had me thinking I was revisiting The Road. That changed pretty quickly and while it was not an unpleasant read, there's just not that much there that I can find to recommend. Were I to give it a one-word review, I'd probably say, "Forgettable".
Looking over my TBR list now to hopefully find something a little meatier.
