I liked it but didn't love it. I read another book about social breakdown from disrupted oil supplies which I preferred (though not really SF, more of a thriller):
Definitely dystopian / apocalyptic, not very sci-fi though. Follows a family over a week as England and the world fall into chaos during a catastrophic oil crisis
Last Light - Alex Scarrow - really an awesome apocalyptic book, and not a zombie apocalypse for once :p
I really enjoyed "The Water Knife", very plausible.
I'd also recommend Alex Scarrow "Last Light" and "Afterlight"
Some more:
"The Darkness After" by Scott B. Williams
"Lights Out" by David Crawford
"Patriots" by James Wesley Rawles
"Grid Down Reality Bites" by Bruce 'Buckshot' Hemming

As for John Varley, he wrote one of my favorite science fiction novels ever:

Overall I think my expectations were unfairly high for Slow Apocalypse because of who wrote it.

Try this book... Last Light. Describes what the break down of civilization could be like, in a very rapid period of days.
Never heard of it, but it looks really good from the Wiki page. Do you recommend it?
Reminds me slightly of this one:
