Very entertaining
Revisado: 12-09-11
The stories are all great entertainment from fresh talent. I enjoyed all of them. The performances are also very good. I listened to this on a long drive and it was interesting enough to keep listening to the entire time.
What I didn't like was that each story comes with an "about the author" and an "about the illustrator" that are read by an automated voice. The authors and illustrators have achieved something great and they deserve the chance to publish their bios, but some of them are extremely long and the narration of these is tedious.
Overall, it was well worth the credit for 14 hours of fresh-faced speculative fiction.

In this wry take on the post-apocalyptic horror novel, a pandemic has devastated the planet. The plague has sorted humanity into two types: the uninfected and the infected, the living and the living dead. Now the plague is receding, and Americans are busy rebuilding civilization under orders from the provisional government based in Buffalo. Their top mission: the resettlement of Manhattan.

Fascinating and unconventional
Revisado: 11-04-11
The audio version is a great way to experience this novel. It's more mood than plot, and the performance enhances the tone of the novel, allowing it to envelop the listener.
The plot is difficult to follow at some points and doesn't move in a straight line, containing many long flashbacks and stream-of-consciousness musings by the narrator. It is NOT your traditional zombie novel.
I found myself getting lost in the expertly-crafted descriptions of a world in chaos. There are some funny moments that lighten the mood a bit, but the novel is definitely a dark one. The characters wouldn't necessarily be believable if you were to hear about them outside of the setting of the novel, but Whitehead makes them believable and explains their quirks well. The characterization made me really like the people in the story.
If you want a standard zombie story with a lot of action, this isn't it. Those who would like to take on a literary experience in an apocalyptic setting and who don't mind taking the scenic route from beginning to end will enjoy Zone One.
