Good pre-apocalyptic read

The author has several interesting ideas on this subject.  The idea of rotation of your food stuff is different than the classic untouched survival food storage strategy.

I enjoyed the book, it was an enjoyable story line and shows more character development than many while still bringing the challenges of an apocalyptic situation.

I very much enjoyed this book of post-apocalyptic America.  The characters are well developed and you can see how people change and grow, or fail and die because of their failures.  Gives you something to think about also.  I couldn't put this "down" and look forward to reading more by this author.

the author created an interesting post-apocalyptic world of kingdoms and zombies.  I was drawn into the story and am ready for the next installment.  It was a quick read and I would recommend it to anyone who likes zombie stories.

Enjoyed the book.  MIXED post apocalyptic logistics with coping in a new world or situation.  Great story development.  A LITTLE predictable towards end but fun nonetheless.

Good post apocalyptic fiction, decent writing and grammar.  The last half is the most engaging and feeling of what is going to happen next.

Excellent post-apocalyptic tale of adventure and redemption.
Very well structured in revelation.  Characters were strong and evoked sympathy.
I thought the three brothers were unrealistic characters at first, so maybe shuffling things around to get the "bad guy stories" out first would have helped with that?
Overall, glad I read it and will read more.

I really enjoyed this read.  I think it's probably a bit realistic of what some one is like when they have the flu, especially one that has killed 99.9% of the population.  I didn't think that the beginning was 'overkill'.

The book wasn't really gory, but definitely an Apocalypse read.

I felt really connected to the characters and am looking forward to reading more of them and their world.

Good installment in the series! Looking forward to next installment! I like post apocalyptic novels,  but do not care much for "prepper" novels. However, I did like this series of novels very much. Not so much of a "prepper" book,  how to guide, but a very good story line instead,  without all of the liberal bashing that seems to be a part of so many "prepper" stories. ( I will not read those at all. Once I get to that stuff I just stop reading the book.)  The protagonist in this book is a "prepper", and a lot of the information along those lines is good, useful information,  if you are thinking of preparing for dooms day you might find some new ideas here. The storyline in all four of these books though has been very interesting and entertaining.  In this last book, I did find it hard to believe that he got through all of this with so little, well, don't want to give away anything, let's just say, he made it all sound pretty easy with some good luck mixed in. But, like I said, entertaining and good enough to not want to put it down. How much more can you expect out of an inexpensive book? I will continue reading these books as long as he keeps writing them!

Like Lucifers Hammer this book deals with a group / groups of survivors after something really big from space smashed into Earth and destroys most everything.  It's a fun read, decent character development and a plot that moves.  In terms of "end of the world" books this one does well.  It also captures a bit of the zombie genre too.

My favorite genre is anything post-apocalyptic, but I felt like I had run out of and given up on good zombie novels.  I gave this book a chance and am glad I did.  Interesting plot with a great main character.  Sure you might run into some similar scenarios, but there are enough new twists that make this worth reading.  I like knowing a god book is followed with a series, so I don't have to worry about what to read next.  I loved the style of writing--some snarkiness while trying to survive is admirable to me--and put this book on my list of favorites in this genre.

(Jake Bible, if you read this--I'd be interested in how the "zompacalypse" started for old Long Pork, a prequel if you would.)

This was a well written, post-apocalyptic novel. The main character, Scarlett, was believable as a teenage girl in a horrific situation. She makes some mistakes, does some things right and you can see her development and growth as she moves through the novel. Most of the other characters are pretty flat, not as well fleshed out though (that's why the 4 stars). The plot is good, you can believe something like this can happen. It can also keep an adult interested.

Another great post-apocalyptic book from Ms. Atwood.  The basis for the story is a unfortunately-not-implausible projection of the world as we know it today.  I really enjoyed the writer's skill in slowly revealing the plot as the story progresses, while keeping the writing interesting enough to keep it from becoming a page-turner.

I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this book.  Sure, it's similar to a lot of the other teem post-apocalyptic books out there, but it was enjoyable. I though it ended a little abruptly, or maybe just not quite in the right place, but overall I'd recommend it to anybody who is a fan of that genre in general.

A pretty interesting twist on the zombie apocalypse scenario, the author creates good characters, and is overall one I would recommend.

Easy to read, moved at a good pace. Not sure if this "could" really happen after an apocolyptical event, but made for good reading. Look forward to reading the second book.

Here's a quick Young Adult read about a teenage boy who has to take charge and help his family and neighbors after an accidental nuclear explosion hits Los Angeles. This is not a terribly graphic story, considering the subject, but there are some scenes that may bother more sensitive readers (a dead pet, potentially dead family members, dreadful human injuries), so it is not suitable for younger readers. The plot moves steadily, and the teenage hero is likable and realistic. Recommended for fans of post-apocalyptic fiction.
