read it all last night in one sitting

really good read and scary as shit.

I learned the following things from that book:

I should buy an older vehicle
I need more ammo
I need to move the fuck away from people

that thread made me remember I had it on my Kindle and hadn't gotten around to reading it yet

yeah I guess its kind of ironic that I read it on my Kindle

Good book, I made sure to get a print copy.

I posted this in the other thread....I think the purpose of these books is to get you to think about what you need to survive a worst case scenario.

I got to page 150 or something like that, and put it down. Gotta a little bored I think, can't remember. I'll probably continue reading it again tonight.

ETA: I'm a picky reader with a short attention span.

Just one of many EOTWAWKI books; not sure why this one resonates so much with some people

Good read

What makes it really eerie is that I have spent allot of time in the places depicted in the book.

Old school ignition and manual FTW.

Added it to my Kindle queue yesterday.

I finished "Lights out".

Have been so busy I have not had a chance to get to this title.

Thanks for the reminder.

Audio book is on YT, converting it to MP3 now. Should be good for mindless day of pushing up topsoil piles.

Posted: 9/7/2013 4:34:38 PM EDT

Get the audio book.

OK book with lots of assumptions and extrapolations and some creative license.

But for entertainment purposes, it was a decent read.

I didn't need One Second After to tell me to move away from people. People are pretty annoying these days.

Posted: 9/7/2013 5:15:27 PM EDT

Remember that the book is fiction, okay.

Great book. Recently had my FIL read it, he enjoyed it as well.

Gives you a lot to think about.

If you weren't a prepper already, this book might make you one.

Evil book. Fucked up plenty of minds.

For those that have not read it: if you have less rounds of ammo than residents in your county or less than two years supply of food you are fucked.

You are in ND there are like 150 people in the state....just kidding.

Good book for worst case expectations. Cities suck.

bought the book back on release date years ago when it came out. highly recommend it. good stuff if you're of the prepper mindset or enjoy disaster/post apocalyptic type fiction.

Great book. Definitely up there with Lucifers Hammer and a number of other works (including Lights Out). Would make a good movie

I was a good idea for a book, and the pro-America stuff was nice too. But damn was the writing horrible.

the book over estimates what an EMP will do by a huge margin, most cars, planes and portable electronics will still work. It's the power grid, and anything attached to large antenna's that will get fried.
