started reading lights out thursday at work, just finished it up, fairly entertaining read, main hero was way too lucky, he was like fuckin batman or somebody, wasn't as harsh as I would believe things would really get though,
I figure things in a post apocoliptic/SHTF/TEOTWAWKI would be more tribal (like whats happening in africa now, thats some gruesome shit those people do to eachother daily), raids, killing and assimulation of people that could increase offence/defence power, the vehicles and farming equipment would be nice, but I figured they'd made a move to implement mules/horses sooner, and they all seemed to take the innitatve in aquirering their defencive needs(fencing, barb wire, ect.) from the abandonded farms and businesses, seems like also after putting up fencing, they would have planted bullnettles or some other stinging plant, cacti all along the perimiter,
still its pretty decent reading, glad I stumbled across it while I was at work.
