I picked up this book thinking it would be an interesting "what if" scenario type story, with factual survival information backing up the characters actions. What I discovered was that despite the extremely in depth level of detail regarding gun models and supply products, the story itself was useless. The characters feel fake, their dialogue is consistently dull, and their actions mirror those of robots as opposed to real people. Compound that by the fact that every 3rd page a heaping serving of religion is force fed to you, and the book goes from passable to barely readable.
