I thought this book would have some information in story form of how to prepare for things being bad, it was just a story of a good guy going bad and a better part with a community gathering together. Finished it, but did not like it. Just my opinion, though.

Very interesting info on why we, as humans react the way we do in critical situations. Some very graphic depictions of real survival situations. Very well written.

Information seems okay, but the combination of hard to read type style and tiny print leave me very frustrated with this book.

I felt this book was a lot slower read than the first two. It filled in quite a bit of detail, but was a bit tedious to read.

Pretty coffee table book. I thought it would have more information and maybe floor plans, but it has lots of pretty pictures.

A pretty good prodigal story. An easy read as are most of Evans' books.

Kind of disappointing, I was wanting Riddles that I could use to switch brain gears and it is still not very many of them. Okay book.

Much more readable than I found book 3 to be! Still dense, took quite a while to read. Nice ending to the series. Enjoy!

Nice series. I read book 2 first and then the other ones, so it was not as flowing as it should have been if I had read them in the right order. Mennonite stories and going home and starting over.


Top Secret Information the Government, Banks, and Retailers Don't Want You to Know
Review Date: 10/11/2011


Not quite what I expected from the title. Lots of info on how to save $$ and sounded like good info on wills and probate and stuff. With my super limited budget, not too much applied to me. Seemed like good info though.
