Customer Reviews

Love!

I’m in love with this series! It keeps you curiosity going!

This book and series made me think

Never thought too much about being "prepped" for anything. Start with the first book One Second After. I am glad I read this series because it was thought provoking and kept me very interested.

Sentimentality meets mediocre writing

The premise of this book - a world-ending event sets citizens against leaders when a species-wide triage must be made - has a lot of potential. Unfortunately, Mr Forstchen's filled this book with one-dimensional characters and moral lessons as subtle and nuanced as a sledgehammer. He set out to write a great novel and ended up writing a passable fable. Mr. Forstchen also seems to have forgotten to hire a proofreader. Lines repeat within a page of each other and the wrong word is used in several places (You can tell he used spell-check, at least). It's not a terrible book, but I wish I had borrowed it instead of buying it.

eye opener!
