Review: Precognition or fiction?

I enjoyed the initial development of the book related to awareness of world events by Max and his family. The actions taken once Max got his wake up call (losing his job) were fascinating. The efforts they made to improve their potential for long term survival made sense, but I kept wondering whether they could truly protect themselves. The book answered all such questions, but I won't. The plot development followed a fairly measured pace, but the end seemed to rush a bit. Of course as there are two more books projected in the series, this may be why.There are many problems with grammar, word choice, misspellings and occasionally information. Note to the author: If you need a proofreader, let me know. By the way, in 50 years crocheting I've never used a frame.There were parts of this book I loved, some made me wonder what I'd do in a similar situation, some I just shook my head. A (very) few laughs, some tears, some frustration all came into play, but I started reading it this morning, finished it already and when I could tear myself away I actually finished some chores.  For people who believe in self sufficiency, you'll probably find nothing new. If it's a new concept for you, this could be an eye opener. I will admit I obtained this as a free Kindle book during its original promotional offering. If I had to pay today's asking price I might not have gotten it. I have yarn to buy so I can crochet more!
