Lethal Seasons (A Changed World Book 1) by Alice Sabo
Traditional or self-published: Self-published
Rating: Okay (Hated-Disliked-Okay-Liked-Loved)
Set in a future where a virus has killed off most of humanity (*cough*), the survivors have come together to form various small communities. For some reason, the government keeps the trains running clean and perfectly on time, even though the rest of the world is falling apart. No food, no factories, no new items of any kind are made... but the trains work fine.
The train thing is important because the main character travels around gathering info on all the other communities so his community can keep up to date with the state of the world.
There was nothing wrong with the book or the writing, it just didn't hold my attention. I think I would have been okay with a "virus wipes out most of humanity" story if it had hooked me.
Dropped at 6%.

I was going to say "This book was meant for young kids, so I'm not the target audience" but there's no mention of ages on Amazon, and none of the reviews mention that it's for kids.
As the title implies, this is funny book. Or I should say "funny". The humor seemed like it might be the kind of things very young kids go for (I don't mean that to be insulting, I actually thought it was written for children).
The plot was that a kid somehow was suddenly a weredog (were-poodle) without knowing how it happened. His best friend somehow suddenly became a wererabbit. The third person in their friend circle was a vampire. The final person in their group was an extremely large boy (wears x3 to x4 clothing) named Slim...
Dropped it at 9%, and only got that far because it was so short.
Partial book credits:
Point reached in these books: 6% + 9% = 15%
