Just a terrible plot, narrator and tone. Nothing like the previous novels. Just skip this entry. It has none of the humor or fun of the previous entries, and the narrator is terrible. Bob has no role in it, and Mo becomes a cheating, humorless whiner. Hopefully, she will disappear from the future novels. If not, I'm done with this series.

How many useless adjectives and adverbs can a writer cram into a sentence? Read a few paragraphs of this book and you'll find out. It's embarrassing how many people found this book "spellbinding" and "riveting". This book would receive a C+ in a high school freshman writing course. I have to ask, "who is this guys editor"? He or she should be fired immediately.

This is what is passing for contemporary science fiction now? Pathetic.

Don't waste a minute of your life listening to this. It is so bad in so many ways that I can't begin to list them. Most of all, this IS NOT hard science fiction. It reads like it was written by a teenager for elementary school children, and fails at that level! The only thing worse than the writing was the narrator. How does a story like this get published?

If you can suspend your disbelief upon reading the main plot concept, then go for it, but I couldn't believe that a writer that I normally enjoy reading could come up with such a preposterous idea. The American Dream is a magical spell made by an Egyptian God!? It's utterly ridiculous.

Might have been good, but narrator (Sigler) was horrible. Do not bother to buy this book, because the author is one of the worst narrators I've ever heard. It was unbearable.

The author has completely run out of ideas and enthusiasm for the storyline and should have dropped it many books prior. I enjoyed his early novels, but trying to slog through this muck is impossible. He needs to find new subject matter.

So much better than the EX series. I didn't want this book to end, and I am hoping that there will be a sequel with Mike returning as the central character. This book has much more in common with 14 than the EX series and has a couple of nice surprises in the plot structure, so if you enjoyed 14, you will love this novel.

My only complaint is regarding the narrator's horrifying attempt at modifying his voice for the different characters. He has a wonderful natural voice and does a great job of holding tempo, but when he changes to the grating falsetto for the female characters, I want to scream at him to stop. He needs to learn that making minor changes in his voice is just fine when changing characters because he has zero ability to switch the timbre of his voice as many narrators do.

Any additional comments?

This is a real story with excellent characterization, skillful writing and an outstanding narrator. As others have said, don't let the zombie concept deter you from reading this book, particularly if you have never read a "zombie" book. The character development is particularly good and kept me deeply interested in the book. Don't even hesitate one second to buy this book.

Any additional comments?

but I just barely made it through the first book because the plot structure is disorganized and a bit hard to swallow at times. I feel like the writer can't decide whether to write this as an all out spoof of magical horror stories, or try to just barely keep it serious. I like the narrator a lot and the characters are fun, but it just never makes the jump to really keeping my interest for more than 30 minutes. I am still going to purchase the next book in the series, because it has a ton of promise and it is just so close to being really good that I have to give it another shot.

Any additional comments?

This has to be one of the worst books that I have listened to/read in decades. How does someone this bad get published? The dialogue is so pathetic and the characters are so one-dimensional that at times I wondered if this was written as a parody.
