Better Than I Expected

Patriots was better than I expected.  Once I started reading it I could not put it down.  I read it in 2 days!  The book has been described by others as a cross between a "how-to" manual for preparedness and an action thriller.  I would agree.  Considering the economic times in which we currently live, the book's opening theme is prescient.  The author provides a realistic scenario of economic collapse followed by a general collapse of society and the ensuing consequences.  The book contains a lot of technical detail regarding a wide range of preparedness elements- from food storage to a retreat location to communications.  And yes, a there is a lot of detail on weapons since a large part of the story is based on the need to use them for personal defense.  One of the parts of the story that I liked best was the author had most, but not all, of his central characters to be Christians.  This added a richer texture to the story and helped make it believable.  Some folks may not like this, but as the majority of Americans identify themselves with Christianity I think the author was correct in adding this element to the story.  Overall, a very enjoyable book.  I loaned my copy to a relative and can't wait to get it back so I can read it again, but more slowly this time!

I was pleasantly surprised. I love horror movies but I have a hard time finding decent ones. I picked this one on an off chance the movie would be better than the cover art and I'm glad to say it was. It isn't a movie that is going to challenge you mentally or even scare you. It will entertain you.

better than i expected, good texture to hair and neat, not frazzled. Would buy another. Just so you know, the beard fits over the ears, but it's not uncomfortable and i have a large head.

I wasn't expecting this to be good because of the reviews - BUT I was pleasantly surprised.  Lots of twist and turns - kept me guessing.  I thought it was a GREAT movie.

So far, better than I expected. Had it about a week now, and it's more comfortable than I expected. I used the size chart and ordered a large. I had my doubts as I have thickened in the waist the last couple of years ( just one more joy of getting older) but I was able to get it on without the fight I thought I would have. Looking forward to being able to go to the next group of hooks!
