Many of the reviewers are correct when they say that the dialogue was pretty rough... it was. But this is a good read for a TEOTWAWKI book. I may be a bit biased as I was stoked to find a book centered on an area where I grew up...The main character is well developed and believable. I'm a former soldier, I've met guys like him. I have also experienced divorce secondary to extensive deployments... and it's not that unbelievable that a soldier would want to seek out his EX wife and child following the end of the world. The characters other than Travis (the main characters group) pretty much got lost in the sauce. Finished the book yesterday and couldn't tell you anything about them... except that Kate is hot. (I think that's her name).There is a lot of survival stuff in this book, and realistic survival stuff. Much of that takes away from the story itself though, but I did learn something there.Overall, it's a short read... priced appropriately and mildly engaging. That makes it worth your time.
