Book Review - "Patriots"

[TedKennedy]

How many of y'all have read "Patriots"?
Worthwhile? Realistic?

Good lord dont let Badge see this. I haven't read "Patriots" but I read one of his others called "Survivors" and it was a good read. Well written, so I can only assume that "Patriots" would be just as good a read.

Read a couple of years ago.
Read survivalblog regularly both are very informative and not full of propaganda or "spin"

Not a bad read. I would read it for entertainment value.

Can't wait for BB too see this.

I think I just hit post 100...a milestone for me.

It's a good read and somewhat realistic (it is fiction) and has some good info in it. Patriots was alright, Survivors was so-so and Founders I did not like much at all.

Read it...and post multiple raving reviews about the book.

For me, it was a decent read. In my opinion, the down side was the painfully detailed descriptions of so of their survival gear. Off the top of my head, I remember a rather lengthy description about cutting crystals for radios or something like that. I quickly learned to skim those sections. If you were in Stillwater, I'd loan you my copy.

Got both. Good reads.

Decent reads.

Nothing really earthshattering.

First one was pretty "detail" oriented.
I seem to remember a lot of brand names, etc.

For me, the bottom line with any of these types of books is:
Did it entertain me?
Did it make me think of something I hadn't before?
Did I learn anything?

Yes to all.
