Title: Some amazing parallels
Product review: A short way into this engrossing novel, I was struck by the parallels with our lives today, even though this book was written in the mid 1990s. There's a faraway war "to protect our freedoms" that does not affect most aspects of everyday life but may be behind much of the collapse. There's a terrorist bombing, problems in currency markets, natural disasters including unimaginable floods of the Mississippi, huge government debt, and increasingly common shootings in US cities and towns.My spouse and I used to kid each other about what we'd need "when the collapse comes." This book tells more about it. A good read, though I agree that one scene could have been cut and the end is a bit extreme.
