The grid's collapse

While I really enjoyed this book there were so many spelling mistakes and kept using centuries instead of sentries. The big turn off was vulgar language. If an author has a decent vocabulary they won't need to use vulgar language.

I enjoy this type of story, and this one was no exception. It did make me realize how fragile our infrastructure actually is. Think that is what 'gets' me about this type of story. I can see it happening. Seeing how quickly society selfishness and violence, I sure hope none of us ever have to face it.

A good EMP story

Was not sure at first but the story warmed up to what we think will happen in this type of story. The good people hang in and prevail. They learned to stick together. Avery good read!!

Is this an AI product, in whole or in part? Use of the word "centuries" for "sentrys", for example? Or just an extremely poor job of proofing? A somewhat formulaic plot, but some interesting ideas...

The book was fine. A few loose ends could have been tied up. I just couldn’t handle all the grammar mistakes. It is a sentry not a century.

Lights out

Good story line. Well thought out. Probably not too far off in the distant future! Grab a copy, you’ll love it.

Good. Story

Good story. A mix of old West and modern times. I know it is nitpicky but people guarding the town limits are surgeries not centuries.

This grid collapsed.

Immature writing, nonexistent editing. Story line good, but lacking development in a mature manner. Dialog is unnatural and immature. How old is author?

Needs better editing to correct grammar and spelling. Writing is awkward, and often repetitive on certain ideas. And there always seems to be a solution to any problem that pops up. Almost a DNF

Too many misspellings- it was distracting. The story was just so so

Good read

Good read, but the writer needs to pay attention to words and context. Such as her use of centuries rather than sentries.

Easy reading

This book was easy to read but the author kept repeating certain lines over and over. I found myself skipping over parts of the story.
