Mini-Review (click to view--possible spoilers)
Pro: The narrator sounds very realistic as a survivor in a partly flooded town. The story largely deals with him becoming mature enough to be a father. Risking his girl by riding a bike down the stairs at the start is childishly irresponsible, but going to work and focusing on the needs of the day is very grown up.
Con: There's no real action in the story, and there's more to maturity than hunting for crabs.
