Good information, but lots of lousy attitudes
Stopped listening with 56 minutes to go, will explain below.
Things I liked...nice that more than 1 disaster occurring in the story. Too many end of world as we know it scenarios deal with only 1 disaster, this book has pandemic, possible civil war, financial collapse, hurricane with tornadoes. When the end comes, it will likely be caused by more than one event.
Another like: A pandemic is made worse when there is a need to go to public shelter to escape storm.
Good advice such as having 2 months supply of food so you can remain in your home during a pandemic.
What I hated...confederate leanings, apparently the author is still trying to fight the civil war...the emphasis on drinking booze...I drink wine, beer, and cocktails, but that is more a weekly event rather than a daily or hourly event and not a requirement for happiness or survival as the story seems to make out. The disrespect for older women - calling them names such as witches, brunhildes, etc. only for their doing their jobs capably. Typical arrogant male. Stopped listening at that point.
I had planned on getting the sequel, but will not now. I like prepper knowledge incorporated into a story, but not the poisonous attitudes.

I wanted more... but it was a nice read
Would you consider the audio edition of Driving Towards Disaster to be better than the print version?
no idea
Would you recommend Driving Towards Disaster to your friends? Why or why not?
sure. it is nice road trip material (especially now)
What three words best describe Phil Williams’s performance?
okay typical cute
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
not necessarily... it mostly made me think about my friends and family and the ways the government discriminates against and preys on them... but yeah, i enjoyed human natures coming thru (the way he was helped despite great reason not to trust or the way his job/existence was made difficult by jerks)
Any additional comments?
I wanted more from it. Ended in a weird place for me... felt rushed to finish...
