School’s Out: EMP Survival in a Dying World Reviews

  Oh dear. This started out OK with Jason as a likeable English teacher and good guy. He stayed in character even correcting grammar in the apocalypse; you have to like that level of commitment. The book tried to straddle some of the big political divides currently in the country and some of the action in the state of Florida after the EMP is simply told to us, so never engenders much of a reaction reading it. Jason was able to let people around him at the school know what was happening and how to help themselves and even endeavored to help some kids get home. Good man, Jason. From there it went downhill. The focus was repeatedly on the bodies of the females (mentioned over and over by both the good guys and the bad guys) and sex, sex, sex. Jason had just tried to get students home, witnessed the killing of one of them, yet the first thing he does when he got to his well-placed house is hookup with a teacher that he brought from the school. They actually had sex before talking to anyone else at the house about what was going on and what the plan of action was going to be to survive. The female students were all trying to find someone available among the young men at the house. Alicia had potential with some good fighting and shooting skills, but was so incapable at following directions, she was really a big liability; she should have been left to just defend the homestead. The banter about sexual activity and nice butts continued at the homestead, even when giving shooting lessons. I get that in this type of disaster, women would likely become a commodity, but this seemed so extreme and fairly graphic and excluded all other priorities for both the good guys and the bad guys. I was only just able to finish so gave it a 2.

  good storyline and premise
  
  Occasionally there is a childlike quality to the writing,buy past that, the story runs well and is an easy read.

  real world potential reality
  
  So many of the things that have gone in in this book are what I can see happening in our future and it’s terrifying.
  
  The book was an easy read that I had done in two days.

  One two three
  
  It was a good story. Well written. It was also like all other apocalypse stories. They tend to have the same issues and problems. The stories all mimic each other and been to be boring. That being said: its a pretty good book and worth the read.

  Don't waste your time
  
  The story is full of misinformation and has so many plot holes that it is ridiculous. Between that and the fact that they don't take the time to develop character motivation, I honestly don't know how they have a good rating. I don't normally leave reviews, but it was like a 13 year old wrote this and didn't do any research.

  Appreciate the general topic but as others have mentioned, feeling like it was written by a nyphomaniac teenage boy. No issue with female empowerment but some of the dialogue causes me to roll my eyes. I would assume they would be more concerned with food, preparation, health, and safety rather than sex.

  This was a good book. A nice, EOTWAWKI. I loved the difference in this book to other EOTWAWKI books I’ve read. This one had a different look at what can happen in an end of the world scenario that I had never thought of and haven’t read in any other books. So I appreciated that.
  This is the 2nd book I’ve read of Jack Hance's and I’ll definitely be reading more.

  Good read
  
  Jason kicked the door open and almost immediately a big bald guy ran out, a pistol in each hand, firing left and right. Michael and James both fired, and the guy bounced off the opposite wall then fell backward into the room.

  Pleasantly surprised
  
  Just enough back story to get to know the very well developed characters, with action cover to cover, I found this book to be a page turner.
