THIS BOOK WAS NOT WHAT I EXPECTED OF A NATIONAL BEST SELLER. I HAVE A 100 PAGE RULE. IF A BOOK CAN'T HOLD MY INTEREST IN THE FIRST 100 PAGES, I PUT THE BOOK DOWN. THIS STORY WAS A TEDIOUS READ TO PAGE 100.... THEN I STOPPED.A MUCH BETTER READ IS "PATRIOTS", 'SURVIVING THE COMING COLLAPSE', by JAMES WESLEY, RAWLES. A PAGE BURNER.
