This is an action-packed story, great characters, but unfortunately maybe a little unbelievable. The situations that the characters got out of were a little over the top, and perhaps a few too many as well. There were also a few odd moments; why didn't Kate leave a note for Jack back at the apartment before they left? Would Kate and Susie really recognize Jack in the middle of a blizzard when dressed as an enemy soldier? surely his head and face would be fairly covere. Why would Arthur wait so long to come to the family's rescue? For that matter, why not circumvent the town and wait in the woods and try to meet his family BEFORE they got to the town? Still, an enjoyable story ( minus a few typos), good characters, and a good narration.

I loved that the strong female lead character was believable (I know a lady similar to this woman in real life!), the story line was mostly believable, and, since I listened as an audiobook, the narrator did a great job of altering her voice during conversations to help you know which character is speaking. I enjoyed this book enough to listen twice…ps most of the EMP series books have a lot of typos, but since I didn’t read the print version, I cannot comment on that (print errors usually make me drop a rating down one star).

I enjoyed the story immensely. I liked the way the preppers at first believed humans would be helpful and kind. I also liked the biblical references. I listened fire audiobook, I thought the narrator was a little cheesy the way she tried to do the male voices. All the men sounded the same, a little dumb and stupid. , Even the intelligent ones. But at least she tried, it helps us to know which character was talking.

a few grammatical errors in the written book, and a few mispronunxiations by the reader on the audio book ( nuc-u-lar instead of nuclear, calvary instead of cavalry, etc), but action packed and interesting story throughout!

I found this audiobook easy to understand and enjoyable. I espe ially liked how they explained how to use household items for some of the exercises. I appreciated the added info on vitamins and food nutrition in addition to the exercises!

This audiovook fills a huge gap in today's educational system! it starts with the basics, explaining step by step, never assuming the listener already knows the concepts or terminology. savings, investing, jobs, and credit cards are all discussed. real life success stories are used to show that these goals are attainable. There's an extensive section about getting a job and ideas about the type of job that might be right for you. I lived that there were actual lists of financial institutions, credit cards, and investment companies and what they offer, which gives you a starting place to build on. I was most impressed with the glossary of terms at the end. Whether you are a teen or the parent of a teen, you owe it to yourself to listen to this book!

This book covered so much and really took the time to explain how a toddler sees the world and why he/she reacts the way they do! Spoken from a parents' point of view by a couple that has been there! Loads of specific instructions and clear-cut examples. My favorite part of the book was when they explained the frustrations of a child learning language, but unable to communicate what they want to say, and how it results in tantrums. All the important ideals you want to teach your child, and all the best ways to do it are discussed. There's discussion on self-care for the parents, how to teach yourself to stay calm and communicate clearly, lessons on setting boundaries, and much more. The narration is exellent too, I found it a oleasure to listen to as I cooked and cleaned theoughout the day!

A must for ADHD parenting

This audiobook really covers all the bases for a parent of a child with ADHD. It explains ADHD, how your child perceives the world and why, and really speaks to you from a parents' point of view. Besides offering approaches and ideas to help your child live a more calm, and fulfilling life, it also discusses the school setting and IEPs, as well as offering lists of podcasts and apps to learn more, stay organized and focused, and share knowledge among an online community. One of my favorite parts of the book is when the author compares ADHD medication to braces- a means of artificial assistance to help aid the body acheive an end result. The author illustrates with clear examples of situations, what to say, what NOT to say, and how handle them. I also found the narrator easy to listen to. I highly recommend this book if you are struggling to understand your ADHD child and want to help them-- and yourself-- live the best life!

I had some difficulties with my dad in childhood, and also some narcissistic relationships later on as a result. This book is both calming and inspiring. I especially liked the part about writing a letter to the person and then just putting it in a drawer instead fo mailing it! There was also some great reflections on spirituality. As I said in the review title, you will get something positive out of this book even if you haven't had trauma in your life. I also want to mention that the narrator sounded calm and relaxing, very positive and friendly, which adds even more to the listing experience!

This audiobook is a great source of entertainment for just the kids, during long car rides, or even as a mini-lesson game during home-schooling! It's also a fun trivia contest for the whole family! Tons of interesting facts. The background music timer during the multiple-choice questions at the end is a nice touch! You will love it, and your kids will too!
