Rules of Survival: A Post-Apocalyptic EMP Survival Thriller by Jack HuntMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
This was a quick read that held my attention long enough to keep turning the pages, but in the end it offered nothing particularly new or noteworthy. What is so infuriating is the number of post apocalyptic novels with myriad errors in basic punctuation—and though it may fare a tad better than some, this was no exception. When did it become acceptable to publish what reads like unedited copy? Either many authors are forgoing the editing process, or there are a significant number of editors out there making a buck for rubber stamping what they get without bothering to read it. A third possibility is that folks are hanging out an “EDITOR” shingle without any knowledge of the rules of grammar, spelling, or punctuation. In the end, fans of the genre will find this rather formulaic and without anything to distinguish it from the rest of the pack.
