Where does Journey rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
I was voluntarily provided this review copy audiobook at no charge by the author, publisher and/or narrator. This book falls in the upper ranks of books I’ve listened to. While the characters can be a bit annoying, they’re not too bad and the narrators do a good job.
What other book might you compare Journey to and why?
While this is another apocalypse book, it’s a different take on one. It doesn’t have the grizzled marine that knows how to do everything, it has a group of college kids trying to figure out how to survive. While Ripley is a prepper she’s a generic one, someone that expects something bad to happen, has somewhat planned for it but is in over their head too. I just wish the book hadn’t just ended, I’d rather have a cliffhanger than something that just stops.
What does Kevin Pierce and Becket Royce bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
They really add to the characters. While you can imagine what each character sounds like, how they act, the narrators do a very good job of making it a richer experience. I didn’t have any problem telling the characters apart, they do a good job in making the voice unique. They also help add to the tension of the story, if the characters are going to survive or not.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
While I’d prefer to listen to this in one setting, I didn’t have a problem listening to this over a few days either. It was easy to pick up where I left off, remembering what happened before. I was interested in what happened next, even if some of the things seemed like dumb ideas and plans.
Any additional comments?
This was an interesting new take on the usual story and while I’m not sure if I’d want to listen to the next story, I’m also curious enough that I might.
