Arcydzieło czy bezsensowny bełkot? Myślę, że i jedno i drugie, ale jeśli chodzi o to drugie to raczej sensowny bełkot. Książka opowiada o tym co się może stać jak wyłączą nam prąd i przestanie wszystko działać i jest to świetny podręcznik survivalu czyli, jak przetrwać gdy nadejdzie taka, dość realn...

Poorly written military lecture, disappointing as it could have been so much better. The premise is great but it reads like a lecture interspersed with moments describing the scene before the lecture begins.

Great premise for a book but the story was pretty much the same as [b:Earth Abides|93269|Earth Abides|George R. Stewart|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1320505234s/93269.jpg|1650913].

Just didn't like this one from the conversation style right in the beginning to the main character knowing everything immediately. There was no suspense, and none of the characters seemed very like able.

This book scared the CRAP out of me! I was able to read about 100 pages, and then I had to walk away.

After I decided that I was done, I asked my friend who recommended the book if I ...

This scenario is terrifying. A little too realistic for comfort, but the writing could be better.

Helpful in a list kind of way to tick off what you should be thinking about if you're into apocalypse-proofing your life. Other than that not much of a story. Really annoyingly self-righteous characters (I am guessing the lead is based on the author).
