Loved it! It's everything I want and love in an apocalyptic novel. Written in 1959, it is also unsurprisingly dated and sexist. But five stars for its value as a totally juicy apocalyptic book, and especially interesting when situated in its milieu... The Cold War. That said I am not a book critic, have never been an English major, etc. so my rating system is purely a reflection of how much I enjoyed a book.
