I hate to 'bite the hand that fed me', but, though I borrowed this book using Prime, I did so because it cost $2.99 for 99 pages and that is too much.I read and reviewed Part One favorably. The survivalist threw in rapes to justify the killings he did, and I agreed under those circumstances.In Part Two, he kills so many people (whom he calls scum and raiders etc) without knowing if they had committed any crimes. He is out scavenging and when he sees a lot of people, he judges and sentences them to death, burns them to death in a barn. Afterward, he found imprisoned,raped women, which neatly exonerated him.Moving further, he sees a large group, and because they were washing up and brushing their teeth, he decides they are good guys, and that they have good training and morale, so he doesn't shoot them. Of course he is always right.Bad guys never brush their teeth.Somewhere along the way he and his girlfriend (a crack shot and why not? So am I.), they accumulate more weapons than an army. Indeed, he has decided when he has made sure his grey haired old Mom in Texas is ok, he will head back out and kill scum and renegades..whom he will judge and execute. He has gathered a gang now for this endeavor.If this was a movie your eardrums would bust from the sound of the executions.Yet, Sandy has a silent motorcycle to whip around on. (???)Sorry, TJ, but I do not believe that in a crippled world that most people would be evil. When your protaganist accidentally drives through a roadblock..he kills everyone and calls them evil. They must be bad if he SAYS so.He gets wounded, so I can feel better about the wholesale murders HE perpetrated.Did I mention the rampant political opinions?I am out.The first book was pretty good. I don't mean to burden myself with the outright murder of hundreds (thousands?) (by Johnny and his GF Sandy.) So I returned the 99 page chapter, called a book. I love post apocalyptic books but this is just serial killing.Bang bang
