3.5 stars. A Goodreads giveaway win. We live in Tornado Alley and are all about being prepared. While stocking up on food, water, tools, flashlights/candles, and non-electronic gadgets are all great ideas, I found it a little over the top for the ants to also needed an arsenal of weapons and ammunition (including gas masks)! Ants don't need weapons to obtain food and protect themselves from predators, and neither do people. I did especially like the part about growing your own food and staying fit & healthy. Great advice given, but bordering on extremism.
