Customer Reviews

Good Information, But Very Overpriced

Although I agree with the previous reviewer, I have to say that for the size of the book and the fact that it is juvenile literature, it is extremely overpriced. I probably shouldn't judge price on size, but it's hard not to with this book. It is a skinny little thing and I really expected a little more meat for the price. Informative.

Very informative

In 2001, the United States came under its first-ever serious biological attack, when envelopes containing anthrax began to be received by government officials and media people. Beginning then, many serious people began to worry about the possibility of terrorists using nuclear, biological and/or chemical weapons in their attacks. This 2006 book tells you how to prepare for such an attack, what to do during the attack, and what to do after it. Overall, I found this to be a very informative book. Even though it is placed in the "young adults" category, do not take this book lightly. In fact, this book is an excellent resource for anyone who wants to consider the possibility of a terrorist attack by a weapon of mass destruction (WMD). The text is written in a clear and easy-to-understand manner, and there are numerous informative sidebars that contain important step-by-step instructions. So, if you do want to consider what you would do in the case of a WMD attack, then you should get this book. It is an excellent book on the subject, one that I highly recommend.
