Total Fiction

I liked this story mainly for the fact I live 30 miles south of Rochester, but overall, it is highly improbable. Nonetheless, if you can take it simply as fiction and use your imagination, it's a good listen.

Nararation was good, along with book one

The story line grew lame after book one. There were periods in the story where the author went way too far into detail as to what the character was thinking. It’s pretty obvious what most people would think in these situations and part of hearing or reading a story is self reflection in putting yourself into this situation and wondering what you might decide to do. The narrator was great but the story had me hitting the 30 second button often. The last 2 books had zero point, nor a conclusion.

Tempo of the story is off

I’m disappointed in the overall writing. Sometimes I find myself thinking, “enough with the descriptions and internal thoughts of the character get to the action” and other times I’m in disbelief that so many scenarios can play out at one time in one day within the story. I got tired of every other paragraph describing life post emp. I get it there was an EMP - shizz is gonna get crazy.

Poor Narrator

This was a fair novel of people completely unprepared for life after the grid. This is how it would go for most. The narrator wasn't good, he has a good voice, but he needs to be taught that his narration can't have emotion when not doing a character's voice. Listen to RC Bray for how it is supposed to sound.

pretty awful

this was pretty bad honestly. i found myself rolling my eyes several times. basically finished it only because i already paid for it. the characters are completely clueless and dramatic and everything. you basically get 1 minute of the story and 5 minutes of what that person is thinking.

big holes in the story also. for instance 1 "bad" person didn't have a gun and then later on he mysteriously does and is just carrying all their "gear" and "supplies".

everytime someone gets hit they have a concussion and throw up, there is just food sitting around everyone else just missed but they go right to it and for the love give them some free ad revenue from Glock,Ruger and Subaru
