"I enjoyed the black humor approach in this short read in how Briggs facetiously illustrated how a total and naive reliance on the government to protect us in times of nuclear warfare would only prove to be foolhardy. Though the material is presented in a light and almost playful manner, its hard to read this book without being affected by the disturbing themes that lie subtly beneath the text. Apparently this book was so popular when it was released that it was even included in England when the House was discussing their nuclear arms policies for the country. This book proves once again that subtle messages can often be more powerful than in-your-face confrontation."
"be very careful when reading this book. it will change your mood, your frame of mind, and possibly your politics. the illustrations are beautiful and charming, but the story will break your heart."
"an elderly couple prepare for nuclear war following (UK) government guidelines. Of course these preparations are useless. What's great about this book are the depicted couple, who through the terrible things that happen trust and love one another."
