The venom literally spewed from his pen under the guise of the 2-main protagonists, who happened to be women in a leadership position.  It seemed like if either Elaine (member of the "Board of Directors" for The Castle) or Maggie (Chairman of the management committee AKA "Old Cronies") owned funeral homes, that they would figure a way to keep people from dying!  I really don't have an opinion regarding this one way or the other, though it is such a persistent theme, that it bears reference.The book itself was a pleasant enough and a very quick read (one sitting).  The prepper information was given more in a macro format and there were some gaps, such as:1.) Most preppers who needed an additional supply of gasoline to make it to their "bug out shelter" will store, while rotating out consistent with any expiration date.  No true prepper is going to rely on having to purchase both gas storage tanks and gasoline at a time when the SHTF2.) Same/same having to trade for arthritis meds.  This both exposed Beacon/Bill as having resources and left their cabin unguarded and subject to looting*It is a personal preference, though I dislike "Red Dawn-ish" type of endings ("This war like all other wars ended.....")All in all, while not a profound manifesto on TEOTWAWKI, it was a decent read and a good Kindle value.
