Negative Positive
Title: So-so manual, horrible novel.
Review: The author of the excellent survivalblog site should really stick to non-fiction. He's got a lot of useful tips and info to offer the world (which he generously gives away for free on the web), but I've seen teeth-jarring "Mary Sue" fanfic that shows more talent for storytelling than this "novel" does.I suspect a lot of reviewers are so blinded by the culture clash between the prepared and the ostrich set that they're inclined to give this book far more credit than it's due. But I'll say it here...just because you agree with a writer's political views (as I mostly do) doesn't mean you have to say he's a great novelist.
Is the review positive or negative?
