I won't spoil it for you but it is awesome and has a great sequel. If I make it to the book sharing event I will bring a copy. Plus it's a nice way to introduce the idea of prepping to sceptical spouses and family members, no tinfoil hat required

I hate that book and its sequel with a passion !!

i like the book but i think it was unnessary to have the sub plot with the hired killer......that really messed it up for me.....otherwise a good book.

I gave up on the second one it nearly put me to sleep.

It was nice to have both of these places mentioned, in fact in the sequel they probably went through my backyard. There were a few holes in it and I wouldn't use it as a survival manual but the wife liked it and thinks me slightly less of a nutter so mission accomplished
