Tries hard in a field where plots can be predictable. Not very exciting writing and characters are pretty much one dimensional.Most successful authors will try the well proven path of capturing your interesting in the first few pages with some sort of action, suspense or tension. None of these things apply in this novel.Nothing interesting happens at all till the half way mark. The first dozen pages sound like laundry list for a gun show. It sounds like the main charcter intends to eat bullets when technology fails. The gun list goes on and on and on.This would rate as the most boring intro I have read in the last decade. The plot generally is weak, unrealitic and not even remotely credible.Well the main character does offer his nutritional strategy for surviving amagedon. Apparently he loves ramen noodles and root beer. He intends to stock up mightily on them. Good grief. Not really even the remotest worthwhile bit of advice for preppers here.I did give it two stars as the author obviously tried hard. I rather think I wasted a dollar on this book.I strongly suggest developing a structure for the novel. Something proven like setting, charter intro, built up, climax and resolution. "Options Are Good" just seem to ramble aimlessly on. I have read many books in this genre but this was just dead boring.
