Disjointed and poorly written

Revisado: 09-08-24

There is a good idea behind this book, but the story is disjointed and the characters are not well developed. The pacing is terrible too.

Terrible

Revisado: 02-26-24

The bad reviews of this book were far more entertaining than the book itself.

Spoilers I guess:

This dude was convinced in 5 minutes based on one piece of flimsy evidence that the whole world is a simulation. That’s when I decided to come check out the reviews. I wonder how much this author paid audible to recommend this book to everyone who hated it.

This book is about a group of young adults/teens that become instantly homicidal without access to social media. But the audio performances were pretty good.

So long and bad audio quality

Revisado: 09-19-19

I kept hearing the narrator bumping into the microphone and making weird noises with his mouth. I stuck with it hoping for a good resolution to the story, but I didn’t even get that. The book should have been half as long.

Not suspenseful at all

Revisado: 12-28-18

I don’t know if it was the narrator’s slow and mopey voice, or the fact that I couldn’t connect with or care about any of the characters, but this book just plodded on. I felt no suspense while reading, and no surprise at the ending. Very disappointed.

Horrible narration detracted from the story

Revisado: 10-25-18

My third grader reads aloud better than this narrator does. No inflection, flat affect, and no distinction between characters. She sounded more bored than I felt. If a character was asking a question in the dialog, she would read the whole line as a question, including the non-dialog parts. I hope they get a new narrator for the sequels or I won’t be buying them.

Worst waste of a credit ever!

Revisado: 05-31-13

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

Someone with the sense of humor of a 10-year-old boy, and no idea what proper grammar is.

What could Mark Tufo have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

Hired an editor or 2 or 3.

What didn’t you like about Sean Runnette’s performance?

The material he was reading was the biggest problem.

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Zombie Fallout?

The scenes weren't the problem. The awful awful writing and horrible sentence construction and misogyny were the problem.

Any additional comments?

Don't waste a credit on this book.

Excellent audiobook

Revisado: 09-24-12

Would you listen to The Great Gatsby again? Why?

Yes. It was well read by the narrator, and of course it is one of the best books ever written.

What did you like best about this story?

The setting, the tale of unrequited love-- even though Gatsby turns out to be a stalker.

What does William Hope bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

This might sound odd, but his voice seemed to fit with the era.

Fascinating slice of history

Knowing that the story was true and that the events unfolding had actually happened.

Which scene was your favorite?

Nothing sticks out in my head as a favorite scene.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes.

Good story, good narration

Revisado: 09-24-12

Where does Mourn Not Your Dead rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This book rates solidly in the upper middle. It was interesting enough to keep me engaged and wanting to know what happened next.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Not really. The plot was a little bit slow compared with some thrillers I have read. BUT, that is not a bad thing. I liked the pacing of the story and I liked how the author took time to develop the characters a little bit more than is done in many books these days.

Have you listened to any of Michael Deehy’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I'm not sure.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Neither.
