Review: Just Not Realistic or Logical
Rating: 2 out of 5

I just completed this third book in the series.  Not impressed.  The storyline, in the midst of a total economic breakdown, along with a chaotic society gone rogue, still has working hospitals, an active FBI, sheriff's, diners to eat at, and places to go shopping.  Ummmmm...I don't think so.  Not in the context of how the author portrayed the collapse.  Months into the collapse, people are still using paper currency to make outlandish purchases, yet the banks were closed by the government in the first book of this series.  This is not logical, nor would it make sense in a real life situation.  Much of the storyline from the first book to the third is not logical.One would think, or at least hope, that an author would at least proofread their material and catch the misspellings, left out words, or mix up of names from one character to another.  I forgave all this in the first book, but to see it all happen again and again in the second and third books was frustrating.  At the end of this third book, the author kept using "General Bradley" instead of "General Bradford", which was the right name throughout the enter series.  How does an author make mistakes like this?  Laziness?  Tiredness? Just don't care?  Don't want to proofread or pay an editor to catch all these flaws?  If that's the case, then don't charge $2.99 / book...put them out there for .99 cents.  At least then, the reader won't be out a total of 9 dollars for a series of the same mistakes over and over and over.No, I don't want a refund.  I made choices.  I wanted to see where this series was going and hung with it.  When I got there, the end was no different than the beginning.  I can say this though, if there is going to be a fourth book, my choice will be to shy away from it, because these three have left me with no desire to find out what happens henceforth.
