What about Bob Dunsworth’s performance did you like?

The narrator had a pleasant voice and did what he could to help, but the book was useless.

Anger that the author got paid for using Copy and Paste.

Any additional comments?

For every topic raised by the author, the advice is exactly the same -- create a 72-hour kit, make a plan with your family, and hire a contractor to do any work. Maybe the title should be "Urban Prepping for People That Can't Open a Jar Without a Professional Contractor."

Website for book not maintained; book refers to it

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

Overall the book was ok. A lot of the information in the book repeated in every chapter. What really upset me is that the book refers to the website a lot but the website isn't maintained and the book frequently refers to items that are no longer there.

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

It's not really a story but don't repeat the same information in every chapter. Publisher needs to maintain the website.

What about Bob Dunsworth’s performance did you like?

Overall the narrator was very good.

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

While the information frequently repeats itself, the information provided is good.
