There is no accounting for taste, obviously, but I would say that Rawles’ primary talent is not for writing novels. The one star reviews on the Amazon page are pretty much on target concerning this book. The five star reviews come in waves, when the call is put out over his blog to boost up the ratings.
I did like the first one better I have to say. The build up to the crunch worked better IMHO. (I ripped thru Castigo Bay. Good thriller. )
I agree.
They were high level how to’s with thin characters and even thinner plots.
They are both “fun” but like Michael Savage’s novel they are a bit ham handed.
Give them three or four stars for content, one star for story.
“Castigo Cay” that is. sheesh. oldtimers disease.
As mentioned above, I just downloaded the free sample from Amazon. Not the best literary tome (especially since it is digital LOL) in the world, but not the worst. It kept my attention and gave me some information about what it would be like to experience TEOTWAWKI. I’m going to download the rest of the book, if only to support Rawles and the prepping work he is doing.
First, 3rd Street is located well outside of Radcliff proper (it's so far south, it's almost in E-Town), and secondly there aren't any bars in Radcliff, aside from the one in Applebees. Radcliff is a moist town, in that only restaurants can sell liquor (at least until January, when stores can start selling beer and packaged liquor).
