Book Reviews of Alas, Babylon
Book Review: Still good reading
Summary: 5 Stars
I read this book when I was in junior high and read it again 40 years later. The first time I read it was just before the Cuban Crises when Kennedy confronted the Russians. It was thought provoking as well as entertaining and I enjoyed it even more the second time. I strongly recommend it to those who like post apocalyptic novels and are interested in human behavior when all the normal luxuries are taken from us. There is definite insight as to how we react in crises. Read it and enjoy it and then think about it. Compare it to the more recent "One Second After"
