Review: Something different in the SHTF genre
Rating: 4 out of 5

I'm an avid reader of Apocolypse/ SHTF/ economic meltdown novels and I only occasionally leave a review, however Disaster: Too Late to Prep is one book I read, put down, and said "wow."It's next to near impossible to say much about the book without giving away spoilers, and that's the beauty of the book: it's completely different to any of the books I've read in this genre, and I'd highly recommend buying and reading it. It's that good you could quite possibly make a movie out of it, and I don't say that lightly.However there's a reason I didn't give it 5 stars no matter how much I wanted to: it's the editing, grammar and at times spelling. It's not good.I appreciate that self published authors sometimes find it hard to get a good editor but this book lacks even that. I would go as far as saying it's sometimes a touch hard to read; you have to be careful to work out the difference at times between a character speaking and thoughts in their head... you'd think the accurate placement of quotation mark wouldn't be that hard. Confusing Wales in the UK with Whales as in the large marine animals in Moby Dick is just down right bizarre.I'm very much looking forward to the sequel but beg the author to at the very least buy a commercial grade spell/ grammar checker program to scan his work in future, but more so to spend a little money on a professional editor/ proof reader.
