I had a couple sticky points with this book. There are very few people left but the characters complain about how there's no toilet paper. (sounds familiar!) This is, with so many dead so few alive, there is toilet paper in every gas station, corner store, shopping center.. Everywhere.. Number 2. (no pun intended) There are wild animals and scummy criminal survivors of this plague, yet the characters say things like "We don't need guns, besides there's no ammo anywhere" (There's likely even more ammo available than there is toilet paper!) And "Why do you feel the need to have a gun, we're safe here".. And wouldn't you know it? They're able to talk their way out of every bad situation! Amazingly soft hearted villains I guess.

I was looking forward to this, Michael York has a great voice. If he had kept to reading and laid off the cartoonish voices, I could have finished this classic. Sadly, it's time to close this one..

I was a bit skeptical about the narration at first, but soon settled down into his rhythm. I heard *one* small mistake throughout all three books but I'm pretty sure it was a screwed up edit rather than a reading error and I ended up feeling like a close friend was telling me this story. I'll be looking for some more Kevin Pierce.. Regarding the trilogy? It was well researched, well planned (I would love to read just the outline of this project!) and told in a very visual manner. When you *see* the floating case of Jack Daniels going down the river, the author has done his job. There were elements of Alas, Babylon, One Second Later, Lights Out (of course) and a few other dystopian readings. I highly suggest this book. (If you plan on sharing this between your phone and an Echo Dot, make sure to keep them synced or a nightmare will ensue!)

Enjoy!!

I've enjoyed Will Pattons work before, but this book is impossible to enjoy. I tend to listen in the evenings and a disparities of volume is maddening. If you listen to books while trying to relax in the evening, AVOID THIS BOOK!!

I recall this story being in the news years ago, but this book opened the skies and let it all fall down. Thank God Ramirez was caught and convicted.. I love the narrators work, but I ended up slowing the narration down to .90, it really helped. Glad I spent the point for this one..

This is a well researched book with a great writer and a terrible narrator. Mega thanks to those who suggested bumping up the speed to 1.25, it really did make a difference. So why can't the Maxwell Hamilton person pronounce the word "corollary?" Or "Aquinas"?? Or, omg, Geraldo Rivera? Jeraldo?? Or the famous attorney Marvin "BELLY".. Or Claudine LonGET (hard G)?? And the real questions are these; WHO hires these people and are there NO editors/producers/directors? I get the feeling that this guy was told "Here's your studio, it's all yours, see you in 2 weeks".. Pretty sad. On the upside, the story is well written, and murderer that he was, Gilmore was a well read, intelligent guy with an artistic streak. My next purchase with be Mikal Gilmore's book. Something seriously bad happened in that family. And Maxxy baby, get a different job or at least do a few minutes of research and find out how the people you are reading about pronounce their names..

and thought it would be a good addition to my collection. I was wrong. If the narrator would just read the book. I'd be fine with it, but he lost me with the phony accent.. I can't even get through the first half. Wasted a credit on this mess.

I've read this in hardcover twice, but wanted to go through it again while on the road. At first the narrators voice was annoying, it was light and airy and sounded like maybe he needed to take a drink of water. It stopped being annoying when I realized how perfectly Mr. Campbell was reading this book, his meter/cadence/timing was perfect throughout the entire book. Perfect pauses at commas, perfect emphasis where needed, just extremely well read. Worth the credit!
