Survival Lessons to be learned:
Without spoiling the book for you, we can tell you right now that you will learn several important lessons from this thought provoking book, including:
1. Team Work: Lights Out portrays an amazing, realistic example of how neighbors can bond together and fend for themselves in a TEOTWAWKI scenario.
2. Modern Equipment: How much do you rely on electronics? Everything from coffee pots to ambulances might be immediately brought to a screeching stop.
3. Distance from home: If you are miles or time zones away from home, what will you do? What if you are separated from your family? Can you get your vehicles to run after an EMP? Do you have a “Get Home Bag?”
4. Mechanical Aptitude: What skills do you have that would benefit your community in times of need? What tools do you have that work without electricity? Can you get that old car running again without power?
5. Who can help you: Local, State and Federal assistance may not come for weeks, months or longer, and when they do it may not be the type of help that you need. Are you ready?
6. Medical: Do you have the basic medical skills necessary to keep you, and your family alive 
7. Self Defense: Could you defend you and your family in differing scenarios? This an area that you can learn a lot from in this book.
8. Hunting, Gathering and Farming: Do you have the supplies put back to start a garden? Can you hunt for small or large game for a few weeks? What about a few months or years?
9. Focused leadership: Leading a small group or community is no cake walk. Is your group ready for a long-term disaster?
Favorite Part:
The whole book was very thought provoking, and I learned a good deal about security and 
Dislikes:
The same warning is placed here as with all other apocalyptic novels: This book has some rather graphic detail and some strong language. It is a great book, but I would use discretion with younger readers.
Conclusion:
This is THE book that got me into preparedness many years ago, and I can say that it is a well written piece of literature, that is a pleasure to read, whether for the first time, or the fifth. I can in no way do this book a justice in a simple review. IT IS A MUST READ. It is as simple as that, don’t take my word for it, read it yourself.
