Basically like a Rob Zombie movie on steroids (not in a good way)

The majority of this book is descriptions of extreme torture and misogyny. There was potential for a decent plot, but this is just pure torture descriptions. This book could never be made a movie as is because it is more extreme than a Rob Zombie movie. I almost quit listening with just an hour left because of the necrophilia with an old corpse. The narrator was awesome, there was no real plot. If the needless torture scenes were cut this would be a two hour listen.

Kept my interest. I recommend it for its reader and plot. Not all that unique but still entertaining.

This is a decent story line. Not really worth all of the hype many reviewers give it. It is nice to have a series of stories with the same people in completely different scenarios to see how they interact. The narrator is annoying for many of the characters he does. For example, the two teens at the very beginning were made to sound extremely annoying and unlikeable. I almost quit listening. I hung in and got used to it. He also made many other characters sound condescendingly annoyed to the point that it was irritating to listen to it. Overall, the narrator did a decent job given that he had a lot of range in his voice and I could easily tell which character was speaking. That is better than being monotone.

Only two of these stories count as being in the apocalypse genre. The apocalypse genre requires a global catastrophe (or at least an extremely large one) with societal collapse as the basis of the plot. Three of these books are localized natural disasters that cover a very small area and will be quickly recovered from after the event ends. A wildfire, flood, or hurricane does NOT qualify as an apocalypse.

I loved everything else by Green. The narrator was monotone with very little ability to narrate different characters. I got 10 hours into it and gave up from boredom. It might be a great story, but if this was the first by Green I read I would never had read another. Plus, Choosing an American speaker with a southern accent is a ridiculous choice for a tale so intimately connected to the Nightside in London.

I stayed in to finish the book just to find out what happened. I won’t be listening to the others. I never really cared for any the characters. Great narrator. The plot was boring.

Very enjoyable, I think this is the best story so far. I would re-listen many times.

This might have been a great story with a narrator with a wider range of speaking. I couldn’t tell who was speaking because they all sounded the same. At first the speaker was enjoyable, but it got old fast. I stuck it out, but it never improved. I kept zoning out from boredom. I am surprised there are so many good reviews.

I think most people have a negative review because the storytelling and the narrator is noticeably different. I really like Wymann as a narrator and would listen to anything he narrated. Most people hate this one because the narrator sounds whiny. I personally thought Julie sound extremely whiny when Wymann narrated, and I enjoyed the new female narrator. There is nothing wrong with her accent. I am from Alabama and can say that NO, not everyone from the south sounds like a southern belle on a plantation, or a hillbilly. There are many people living in Alabama that have no accent. The Julie in this story behaves exactly like the previous ones, the only difference is Julie takes up 100% of the storyline instead of a side character with a just a supporting role (people are forced to pay attention to her the entire time).

If you are okay with a slightly different storytelling style and a female narrator then you will most likely enjoy this book. Just go into it as a good side story that focuses on a female protagonist. I do agree that this story is too different to be considered as a main plot.

The narrator was awesome. I personally did not care for the stories. Short stories are not usually able to make you feel like you know or relate to the people. There wasn’t enough action or suspense to make up for that. The stories were good enough for one listen. I will never re-listen to it or buy any of the other collections. I think there would be a lot of people who like this book, it just is not for me.

I do plan on seeing what other books the narrator did, I probably would have stopped listening half way through if not for him.

I found this story and narration extremely boring. I couldn’t pay attention. I kept at it until the last two hours. The narration/story was meant to create dread/tension but never succeeded. It is hard to build tension with bland speaking and avoiding any action. The tension never progressed to anything interesting.
