I hate to admit it but this was not one of my favorites. Seemed to lack realism to the extreme. I failed to see why they were "forced" to stay. Particularly after the death of their daughter. Well actually through the whole thing. It makes no sense that these people would endure this. Even if there was a logical reason to stay they would have shoved the old man on his rump and gone about their business. Who was rationing out the food? The old man? Again a quick shove and you get all the food you need. Lastly the ease at which the old man gets Gwynns character to go back to work after all that had happened was not effective for me at all. With all that said I still enjoyed listening to it. Just wouldn't choose this one as a favorite.
