Book Reviews of Patriots: A Novel of Survival in the Coming Collapse
Book Review: Excellent and timely information!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a novel of the breakdown of society. While the focus of this book is an economic meltdown, the information portrayed could equally be applied to wide scale natural disaster, y2k woes, etc.While there are guns in the book, the main emphasis is more on preparing with simple things such as food and medical supplies. A strong humanitarian influence can be felt in the novel, as those characters that prepared in advance for adversity were able to share some of their bounty with the less fortunate.
Whether you agree with the author's feelings or not, you can easily see that this "fictional" story is something of a "how to survive" manual portrayed as a fictional story to make it more enjoyable to the average reader.
One way or another, a memorable book that will leave you a bit breathless and much more informed.
Best regards, John.
Book Review: Required reading for the coming Y2K problems.....
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is a must have for every serious minded person preparing for the possible future with Y2K. I have read both of the early drafts of this novel by Mr. Rawles and found it to be very informative and packed full of usefull information. I consider it a must have for every bookshelf. I am very much looking forward to reading this novel again and purchasing extra copies for good friends.Book Review: Thought provoking
Summary: 4 Stars
A chilling and thought provoking account of the coming collapse of society as we now know it. The author has remarkably included good information from good sources. It is refreshing to read for this reason alone. While I am an agnostic the references to religon are more than palpable and don't take away from the story. Rather they enhance the story and explain some of the motivations of the characters. Additionally the author refers to suppliers that exist and can be contacted if certain items refered to are of interest to the reader. All in all this is a good read that will keep your attention. Tom P.Book Review: Excellent detail, a real eye opener to what could happen.
Summary: 4 Stars
If you are a fan of paramilitary, survivalism, or the self-sufficiency movement you will love this book. A realistic view of one groups realization and preparation for what could and may happen as we as world citizens continue to live as though nothing really bad could happen.The plot is skillfully woven with useful, and thought provoking details. I have marked many pages for future reference.
This is obviously a reflection of the author's own lifestyle and preparations for what might come.
Book Review: Great book!
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm on Chapter Two... and the book has already paid for itself in practical ideas for the self-reliant. I can hardly put the book down. It is a novel, but a very, very practical novel.
