review 1: When I walked past this book at the library the cover was too good to not take a chance. Full Disclosure: I had no idea who Forrest Griffin was. I don't watch UFC...etc.Honestly upon finding out about the occupation of the author I was a bit turned off. I stuck with it for a hundred or so pages because his writing style is entertaining enough. The book is obvious satire about how to survive the apocalypse. It seems like the kind of book that you'd find in an Urban Outfitters marketed as a coffee table or bathroom read.I couldn't finish it. Toward the later parts of the book it descended too much into "being a real man" and other such things that I know are comedy but are too jocked out in a way that I just don't find entertaining. I returned it early after skimming the las... moret hundred or so pages searching unsuccessfully for something that would jump out and convince me to start reading again.If "manly" comedic writing is your thing, if you're a Forrest Griffin or UFC fanboy, I think you'll have a hard time putting this down. If you're the opposite, I think you'll have a hard time keeping this in your hands.
review 2: Forrest and Erich went at it again in this book that should be saved in a vault with America's greatest works of art. If aliens landed on this planet long after we were extinct, I'd like to think they'd find only this remaining remnant of what humanity was. Forrest actually has pretty good survivalist ideology. Him and his wife are extreme gun nuts (as am I) and will probably meet up with Zakk Wylde and all start their own religion/cult in a dilapidated mansion somewhere after the shit ones down. If you gave this book 1 star, remember that Forrest Griffin loves you. less
