I heard nothing original in it. I learned nothing. There was no character development. Author apparently assumes you have not read any post-apoc fiction since 1990 and therefore he must explain every (now obvious and familiar) thing. OMG – you mean to tell me smart phones don’t work after an EMP?! Really? Oh, except one of his characters who carries everything everywhere in a Faraday backpack, of course, but who then exercised truly abysmal judgment. Author clearly hasn’t been around women to know how their or normal men’s minds work. Truly terrible. I’m exchanging it after getting through only half thanks to double speed – otherwise would’ve been asleep or had my head explode much sooner.
