A review by twstdtink
Alas, Babylon by Pat Frank

3.0

This book could have easily earned four stars from me if it weren't bogged down with a bunch of mundane war terminology. The parts about how people behaved after the nuclear bombs dropped was extremely well written. I fell in love with all the characters and thought it was a very advanced book for the time it was written in (1950's). I LOVED that it was set in Florida (not far from where I live now, actually) and listed numerous small town cities that I'm familiar with. All in all, if you can get past the boring parts, it's a really good book.
