5.0 out of 5 starsA very interesting and entertaining read
Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on July 23, 2014
I learned about this book after seeing Neil Strauss on a documentary about alien invasion. This is a terrific book. Don't read this book expecting to get a bulleted list of how to survive an emergency. It's not a reference book, it's a story about what Neil Strauss learned in his own journey into being a prepped or survivalist. And it is a terrific story. Strauss is very thorough. He covers everything you need to consider to prepare for survival; from surviving in the bush; surviving in urban chaos; learning how to survive in these environments, and so forth. He covers everything you need to know and many things that are extra.

You will need to read the whole book to get the full value of what Strauss has learned. But it is an easy, fast, and very entertaining read.

4.0 out of 5 stars Might not ACTUALLY save your life.

A bit of a fun read. Not the "how to" book the title might imply. It stimulates thought more than anything. What will save your life, is some self motivation to learn some skills and self reliance. This book might be a spur to you, but it won't give you the actual tools. I enjoyed the book though.

Good book from N.S. with some useful ideas but I would have liked more emergency manual type info and less biography.

perfectly written and gives you a great base and ideas of how it really works. not just describing how to do it, but the writer does it.

5.0 out of 5 stars ... felt compelled to actually come here to share my amazing experience with the book
Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on July 20, 2016
I bought this book at Indigo but felt compelled to actually come here to share my amazing experience with the book. After reading the game Neil Strauss quickly shot to the top of my favourite authors list. This was my next book in his collection and I was riveted again. Neil finds the perfect method of conveying information in the form of a first person story that would be compelling enough for 5 stars even if I didn't gain an ounce of knowledge from the book. That being said I found it immensely helpful Neil finds a way to cut past bullshit most of us are too scared to admit about ourselves which makes for a therapeutically good read. 5 stars.
