I decided to purchase this book because I have an interest in prepping and thought it might be a good read.I found it difficult to get past the beginning of the story. Two professional people that apparently are not smart enough to prepare any of their own meals, boil water or reheat soup. I was frustrated at the main characters lack of life skills. At times I felt like this was a statement against those either wealthy enough to be able to eat out every meal or successful professionals. I didn't feell like the characters were real at all. I managed to get past that and on to each character making their own prep plans and revealing them to each other when the SHTF and they need to survive.The premise of the story was good and the attempt to write it admirable, however the story lacked depth and real character development so I found myself disappointed.On the plus side, I was introduced to some concepts I will be able to research independently and for 99 cents, I ffelt like I got 99 cents worth of value out of the purchase.
