"Loved it!"
What more can I ask for than zombies pushing the feeble hummies to the brink of destruction.
So I didn't like the voice work of that one narrators, it didn't sway my love of humanity fighting to survive.
"A lot of fun, and a nice change of pace"
I'm not usually into anything that has zombies, but I read a lot of the reviews and thought this might be a good change of pace from my normal listening habits. I was not disappointed. The production was top notch, and I was very happy about the overall writing of the book. It had a lot of good moments, with very few parts that I felt were predictable.
If you have an open mind, and want to change up what you would normally listen to, this book was a lot of fun and well worth the listen.
"Great performance, just wish it were unabridged"
I love this type of audiobook...the multi-reader performance piece. It really brings a book to life and I think this a perfect showpiece to get someone into Audible. The story itself keeps you interested and engrossed in the world that is created. The only downsides to the book are that I'd say maybe 2 or 3 of the characters readings were a little (I mean a little..still not bad) flat or mechanical, like you could tell they were reading..not performing...on the other hand, some were awesome, like they were REALLY acting out the part, my second downside is that it REALLY should have been unabridged...it's a bit short. Otherwise, it's like I said, a VERY entertaining book that makes you want more.
Conclusion: -1 star for the lack of unabridged version and a couple of acting quirks, well worth the listen.
"World War Z"
What a great ride this story takes you on . if you liked "Night of the living dead" or "I am Legend" you'll appreciate the good yarn this is. All of the celeb voices really were part of the experience too but weren't necessary make this a great listen. The documentary style really was carried off quite well and added to setting the mood. Don't pass this one up.
"Wonderful"
What a find!
This is an excellent re-telling of a fictional zombie world war. Don't worry, most of the story consists of looking deep into the human condition and what would likely happen if a "Great Panic" hit this world. Zombies and Ghouls are just used for dressing the story up a bit.
The chapters are fairly short, each telling a certain part of the war. The length is perfect for my morning commute, creating a great stoping point. While not a dramatic reading, the different voices are top notch.
This has become one of my favorite books of the last several months.
"Unabridged"
I loved this story! Like others have said, this would have been a 5 star production if it had been unabridged. I would unquestioningly recommend this.
"CAnt wait for the movie"
This is brilliant! Not only is the writing and the concept amazing they have managed to get some great voices to do the acting. This is not a zombie book like anything I have ever heard\seen\read.
"This book will redefine zombies for you."
It's as simple as the title says. Forget all of the movies and other stuff, this book covers the zombie outbreak from start to finish and does it so amazingly well that everything else pales in comparison.
"Outstanding"
I loved it. Great cast (more names then I could count Alan Alda and Mark Hammil amoung them), well written. Very enjoyable.
"Laugh Out Loud"
When I describe the basic plot of this book to friends, co-workers or even my family, universally everyone will laugh and give me that "whatever" look. Zombies?! It's not too often a book totally unlike anything else I've read comes along AND intrigues, delights and holds my attention. This one did it. It's one of those books I've thought about days after I finished it.
