Alas Babylon Report
The second book I decided to read this summer was Alas Babylon. Have you ever looked at a book and thought that it was not going to hold your attention very long? I thought the same about this book until I began to read it and it has turned out to have an interesting plot. The setting of this book takes place in the late 1950’s in a small town in Florida named Fort Repose, during the Cold and Korean War.
In addition the main characters of this book are Randy Bragg, Helen Bragg who is Randy’s sister in law, Dan Gunn who is Randy’s doctor and best friend, and there is also Randy’s wife Lib McGovern. Randy Bragg is a lawyer who is in his early thirty’s and prior to him becoming a lawyer he was a military officer. Helen Bragg is a military wife who is not so much as anti-social but is she has adapted to being by herself (alone). Dan Gunn is nothing more or less than a man who is a Doctor who works in Fort Repose.
Furthermore, Randy Bragg was a typical man who was a bachelor and had no cares, but he has had to buckle down and be a leader. His neighbor thought he was nothing more than a pervert, but he was looking at nature. Soon due to surprise attacks on Fort Repose he began renting out his house to his neighbors and family so they can have a place to sleep at night. There he met the beautiful Lib McGovern, prior to him falling for Miss McGovern he was dating Rita Hernandez but he has ended his relationship with her to be with Lib.
I believe this book was an eye opener for me. Randy and Lib has grown closer and closer through the traumatic experiences of this war. Randy Bragg the man thought to have been a pervert in the end ended up marrying Lib McGovern. Together they have been thought to live happily ever after. He and Dan Gunn remain to be best friends.
In summarization, this novel took place in a small town in Florida (Fort Repose). This war has opened eyes for many in this book. Randy Bragg has learned to be more considerate, and loving. Also Dan Gunn has
