You’d think by book 7, Blackmore would have run out of ideas….

Well, he didn’t. Awesome book. Still managed to surprise me, several times over. Highly recommended.

Pretty Good

Revisado: 12-19-21

Started off a little slow and there were too many characters at the beginning but picked up midway.

Is it the best PA book ever? No.
Is it in the top 10? No....I'll give it a place in my top 40 though.
Worth a listen though and I am going to get the second book when it comes out.

The reason I took off a star for both the story and overall categories was because the author decided to give the respiratory type disease in this book the nickname "Drips" (or "Dripps" maybe, not sure since I listened to it and didn't see the text.

If it was meant as a shout out to The Stand's "Captain Trips", I didn't read it that way but found it unoriginal and was a little annoyed at it. But the Stand is one of my favorite post apocalyptic books ever, so it could have just been me being too critical.

Overall, good book and I do recommend it if you're into the genre.

I have been made dumberer...

Revisado: 08-23-21

As the Principal from Billy Madison once said;
"Ms. Hoover, what you have just written is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your incoherent rambling were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."

I am puzzled at how this book got some many positive reviews...I mean, I do..but I won't get political.
I suffered through all 8+ hours, mostly as an experiment to try find out if there were ANY redeeming qualities, like a good ending or a plot twist.
There isn't.

Ahead of it's time

Listen, this is an amazing book.
BUT, the state of the world today can make your anxiety act up while reading this book.
It did mine...

I grok It's Goodness

Revisado: 09-05-19

This book blew my mind when I read it (many times) in my younger years...it was the first time I read a fiction book that reiterated the very psychedelic and counterculture ideas and philosophies I very much resonated with.
Some things in the book are outdated (think how women were thought of 50 years ago) but most of it was ahead of it's time...like many of Heinlein's books, although this book is extra special.
Highly recommended, whether it's your first time coming across this book, or the 10th. Narrator did a perfect job.
And remember.....Thou art god, I am god. All that groks is god

PPAF (Positive Post Apocalyptic Fiction)

Revisado: 07-24-19

I read/listen to ALOT of apocalyptic fiction.... zombies, aliens, diseases, meteorites, EMPs and everything in between.
I purchased this book because I enjoyed the author's last book "The End of the World Runner's Club" (which was a bit darker).
It's safe to say that this book, if anything else, is unique in the genre.
Strangely innocent yet full of wisdom.
If you love animals you will enjoy this book that much more.
Narration is not too shabby, although I do think there are more appropriate narrators out there for this story.
All in all, recommended.

Amazing!

Revisado: 09-07-18

Poetry read perfectly!
I read this book when I was younger and loved it. I actually think I enjoyed the audio version a little more, the narrator transported me to the hospital as if I was one of the looneys.

Meh...

Revisado: 09-05-18

I definitely struggled to finish this book.
Although interesting at times, most of the book just dragged along.
The author's/narrator's monotone voice did not help.
I regret spending a credit on it.

A classic...

Revisado: 12-20-16

A great book to start a lifelong fantasy story obsession with...but also great for an old fan of the fantasy genre like myself.

Very Psychedelic!

Revisado: 08-23-16

This book is unlike any Stephen King book I've ever read. It's amazing. It's very profound and insightful but in a dark, beautiful way. Very trippy. Highly recommended. George Guidall is the perfect narrator, his voice has the ability to put you in a type of trance.
