Review: A Different Take, A Different Style

This story held my interest throughout the entire read, although the writing style is much different than I'm used to reading.  The story line flowed smoothly for me, yet, I would have preferred a bit more detail in various parts of the book.  Even so, I believe Ms. Strauhs did a very good job in depicting the hardships of life and what one would need, or have to do, to survive and maintain without specific ammenities of life such as electricity.I believe the story itself is plausible and realistic, in that; foreign invaders could very well strike our shores, or this country be taken from within.  I like how the author presented many who had planned ahead for a day like this, by preparing bunkers, canned goods and storing away for future use, having wind turbines put in, etc.  Some great imagination went into how the survivors dealt with the enemy and what they did to contend with those threats.I felt the ending was wrapped up way to fast, however, it didn't take away from the whole of the story.Anyway...this is the second novel I've read by this author, and I would read more from her in this genre.
