While the overall book is okay, I was excited to read Rob Gates story, as I thought, since he was the one advertising the book, it would be something to be proud of. It is not, as a matter of fact, his story is probably the worst written. It offers little detail in character, the plot is so-so thought out. I know this is suppose to be a humorous look at the end of the world with humorous characters, but a thin plot doesn't make up for bad writing, and bad writing is the majority of this book, Mr. Gate's story in particular. I ask Mr. Yates to keep trying though, there are many creative writing courses that could help tone and give you some direction. I would also like to make a quick point about the publisher of this book, this book is way overpriced for this poor quality workmanship. I looked into Yard Dog press and found that they are only one step up from a vanity press. Their actual motto is "if the big, traditional publishers don't like your work, it's probably for us." That in itself tells what kind of work this is.
