Story4.5 out of 5 stars 5,140
The world outside has grown toxic, the view of it limited, talk of it forbidden. The remnants of humanity live underground in a single silo. But there are always those who hope, who dream. These are the dangerous people, the residents who infect others with their optimism. Their punishment is simple. They are given the very thing they want: They are allowed to go outside.

Page turner

I felt very connected to characters right away and some of them have very surprising deaths which which is almost a drag because they’re so well written, but it keeps it interesting and definitely moves the story along in unexpected ways. I’m definitely hooked. Downloading book too immediately. Gotta find out who else dies. Love this book.

It takes a lil but to get going but this is a very exciting book
Reviewed: 04-17-22
I like the narrator he kinda sounds like Tom Hanks. The author does a good job of setting the scene, but the first two chapters are less exciting than the rest of the book. This gets crazy. Really intense. Kinda gross for a few paragraphs here and there but nothing too crazy. It’s very factual and it is easy to follow. It’s an amazing and tragic story and you really feel like you’re there in it. Worth the credit for being a shorter book.

I’ve been in this life for fifty years, been trying to work out its riddle for forty-two, and been keeping diaries of clues to that riddle for the last thirty-five. Notes about successes and failures, joys and sorrows, things that made me marvel, and things that made me laugh out loud. How to be fair. How to have less stress. How to have fun. How to hurt people less. How to get hurt less. How to be a good man. How to have meaning in life. How to be more me. Recently, I worked up the courage to sit down with those diaries.

Already cited on the floor of Congress and discussed in the corridors of the Pentagon as a book all Americans should read, One Second After is the story of a war scenario that could become all too terrifyingly real. Based upon a real weapon - the Electro Magnetic Pulse (EMP) - which may already be in the hands of our enemies, it is a truly realistic look at the awesome power of a weapon that can destroy the entire United States.

Horrible and his depiction of women
Reviewed: 09-03-21
This is an interesting book with a very interesting premise, and I was immediately interested and invested in the story and the outcome.
That being said this gentleman is pure garbage out writing women of value. Every single woman in this book had her appearances detailed to the reader, but never men. Men never had their attractiveness rated or even brought up. In one sentence he described the same woman, who was his STUDENT, as sexy, twice. He often makes notes of how he is attracted to his friends wives. Women in this book do not contribute anything of value to conversations but simply ask questions like “what’s going on here” or “what do I do next?” I find this especially bothersome because the main character has two daughters. He seems to treat them with a decent amount of respect and dignity, but not really anyone else. He has a former mother-in-law who also raises his daughters, he seems to respect his former mother-in-law as well. The author also mentions on two occasions that he is confused by women and believes that if you don’t check out an attractive woman that she is insulted but that if you do that you’re in trouble. And just to any man reading this, that’s bullshit, especially in the middle of a damn apocalypse. Also somehow in the middle of the apocalypse, he mentions to note how many buttons are undone on each wins shirt and how all their breasts look. There’s one instance in the book when a nurse has been taking care of the main character for several days and he is smelly and sweat soaked, but seems to believe, as soon as he returns to consciousness, that the nurses flirting with him because she notices him checking her out.
Like I said the premise of the book is interesting and I was immediately invested in the outcome, but I knew certainly after just a few pages that a woman would never have a character worth any value that did not come from taking care of others. I knew immediately that a woman would contribute nothing of value, I knew immediately that a woman would never be the hero, and I knew immediately that the asshole who object if I women would somehow save the day. I was honestly more interested in the authors depiction of the apocalyptic times than his character development, which was garbage.

Hi! I’m Seth! I was asked to describe my audiobook, Yearbook for websites and shit like that, so...here it goes!!! Yearbook is a collection of true stories that I desperately hope are just funny at worst, and life-changingly amazing at best. (I understand that it’s likely the former, which is a fancy “book” way of saying “the first one.”) I talk about my grandparents, doing stand-up comedy as a teenager, bar mitzvahs, and Jewish summer camp, and tell way more stories about doing drugs than my mother would like.

Hysterical
Reviewed: 07-30-21
I laughed a lot. You have to be pretty ok with drugs to laugh at this book, but if your sense of humor will allow, this is a great book. It’s just a mix of various stories and experiences and it is well told. I’m definitely sad it’s over and I love Seth Rogan more 🖤
