Who Would Like This Book:

If you're a fan of high-stakes survival fiction with a family-focused twist, "The Collapse (Geostorm)" is bound to hook you in. The action is non-stop, the characters are instantly relatable, and the ever-present sense of danger will have you flipping pages late into the night. Bobby Akart does a great job weaving together multiple storylines, and anyone who appreciates TEOTWAWKI (the end of the world as we know it) scenarios or disaster epics, especially with real-world scientific threads, will love the ride.

Who May Not Like This Book:

Some readers might get frustrated with the tendency to rehash previous plot points at the start of the book, especially if you're reading the series back-to-back. If you prefer books that jump right into new action or wrap things up neatly, the cliffhangers and setup for future installments might test your patience. Also, details like character portrayal (for example, ages not matching how people are described) could take you out of the story if you're detail-oriented.

A gripping and intense third entry in Akart's disaster series that balances heart, suspense, and survival instincts - perfect for disaster fiction lovers, but be prepared for cliffhangers and a bit of recap.
