Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes! Recently I have added more and more post-apocalyptic/dystopian books to my library and this one was highly engaging. The main character, Lauren, had been brought up to defend herself but didn’t realize how soon those skills would be needed. Her character wasn’t as polished as I hope the author takes her in future books but I couldn’t wait to get back to it. There were intense moments and uncomfortable moments but no boring moments for me. I look forward to Book Two!
What does Kevin Pierce bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Kevin brought a voice of authenticity to the story. His voice was not forced to differentiate among the characters and it was not difficult keeping them straight.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Are You Ready? The world as we know it is coming to an end.
Any additional comments?
The last half of the book introduced new characters quickly so I didn’t have time to connect but I think the intent here was to strengthen the overall take-away of the importance of community, never lose humanity and always defend your home from invading forces. I was voluntarily provided this free review audiobook by the narrator and the opinions are my own.
