  • Kyle you need to learn how to tell a story.

    The story is about a nuclear war between US-Russia and the

    survival of people in post nuclear war Florida. How they survive

    and the problems they face in a time without government &

    police and when the inferstruture breaks down.

  • @fntime I believe every plot point you mentioned in your comment is also mentioned in the review. Soviet Union-America have war, post nuclear war conditions in Florida and how the people survive in the aftermath of the war

  • @WeReadBooks Sorry, if my comment sounded nasty. I thought

    your review was a little long winded, but thanks for the video,

    it brought back memories from the past.

  • my dad has the original copy and im reading it now :)

  • @TubularNoobular Very cool, hope you enjoy it as much as I did - Kyle

  • @TubularNoobular Did you know that there was a TV show, Alas Babylon.

    in 1960. I read the book then, actually read it again 10 years ago.

    Good survivalist manual.

  • It sounds like One Second After by William Forstchen. Have you heard of it?

  • @TheWarlordofAZ Heard of it but haven't had the chance to read it yet. From what I have heard it does have a similar plot. Of course ton of books, movies, tv shows that play around with the idea of a area being cut off from a society. It is just a great plot device. One of my fav tv show in recent years, Jericho, played off the same idea. Hopefully I will get a chance to read One Second After sometime soon

  • @yhctower Ya I would recommend it. Speaking of tv shows I know it is a little staged but have you or do you watch The Colony on Discovery?

  • @TheWarlordofAZ Nope haven't watched The Colony. The idea of it being staged realty show style didn't really appeal to me. You can't duplicate the feeling/idea that the area is completely cut off from the world when the people in it know it is a tv show. So never felt the urge to give the show a try

  • @yhctower That is true I see where you coming from I guess for me it passs the time haha

  • wow robot voice, and of course, "nucular" ugh

  • that was an AWESOME review. Sounds super interesting. I'll add it to my list.

  • @hollishillis cool beans

  • Nice!!

    Never heard of it before =P

    thumbs up!

  • @DorkyPPoi Thank you for the thumbs up :)

  • Great review! :) I've read the book before, and although I thought the whole situation after nuclear attack was perhaps a bit unrealistic, it's still an amazing book! I also watched your farm tour video and loved it. It reminds me of the farms I've seen while I was traveling across Tennessee. I love the southern states, so peaceful and relaxing :)

  • @k123j1 Yep farms can be a peaceful place to be. Of course also lots of hard work also.

  • did I hear a cow or am I going crazy? How epic is that?! Love the background. Wish I was growing on a farm instead of this damn city -___- But the book sounds interesting. I'm pretty sure I've heard about it though. Keep up the reviews =D

  • @OcMiske Yep you did hear a cow in the background. If you watch the farm tour video that I linked you will get to see lots of cows. Glad you liked the review

  • Great video, we just read Alas Babylon for my english class, btw I finished writing my book and I'm now looking for an agent and a publisher.

  • @Samthescienceman  Glad you enjoyed. Best of the luck with the book
