There are allot of holes in the premise, but they don't take away from the book.  Remember, the story is fictional.  Its essentially about ordinary folks coming together to reinvent themselves and have a new beginning.  Some become better people, others evil.I agree with other reviewers that the author has a vegan, animal loving, anti-establishment, anti-religion theme.  The good guys don't want to kill mammals for food. Imagine having Lassie with as a companion in post-apocalyptic times. What the main character, Martin, seems to be establishing has all the trappings of a commune, without calling it one.Another observation is the speed with which Martin has his female interests in the sack.  'Hi, I'm Martin, and I'm lonely.  Do you want to come live with me?  We don't have to have sex.'  But they do anyway.  Come on....This book is fun to read and hard to put down.
