Good author, good story

Revisado: 01-23-16

I've been a fan of TW Brown's zombie books for a long time, particularly his Dead series which precede his Snapshot books. He excels at creating real and believable characters and at telling a story through the eyes of very divergent people. Not all of these people are noble or even likable but you believe them and can even see their point of view, even if you don't agree with it.

This is my first time with an audio book. It was interesting to hear the author reading it and I thought that overall he did a good job as the reader. The one thing that kind of grated on me was when he read the female characters' lines. I appreciated that he was trying to give them their own, more feminine voice but the way he did their voices made them sound kind of insipid. Now I've read the written Kindle form of this story and these characters are definitely NOT that way. Their words and their actions are great (In fact, one of the things I really like about him is that he writes good female characters) but the whole vocal tone just doesn't match.

Anyway, I would highly recommend TW Brown if you like well-written zombie stories. His books are full of interesting characters with dimension to them and the stories are full of surprises. Personally, I prefer reading them to listening but your mileage may vary. Still, whichever version fits your taste and style best, I encourage you to give him a try. I hated to see the Dead series end but the Snapshot books seem to operate in the same universe, just with different characters in different places.
