Publisher's summary

Dear God a zombie bit Myffaine!

All merry hell breaks loose and life as we know it is in danger of being snuffed out from the planet on what is otherwise not too bad of a Tuesday.

Barry and Myffanie have to negotiate a Zombie apocalypse in an effort to save the market value of the house they bought in Ptthwit five years ago.

An accident in a nearby cosmetics laboratory has unleashed a zombie horde onto the village, one that may take over the entire planet if they don't stop it, or worse completely wipe out the extra value Barry's Garage extension put onto their property.

Awesome

The story was very enjoyable and Narrator did a great job bringing the story to life. I was not disappointed at all

A real twist on the old zombie story

This zombie story has an unusual twist in the nature and mechanism of zombiehood. It's also very sedate for a zombie story, coming across like a mashup of Shawn of the Dead and Keeping Up Appearances.

Welcome to another hilarious world by Simon Carr!

Welcome to another hilarious world by Simon Carr where property values matter...even if zombies are trying to take over. I literally laughed out loud multiple times. I highly recommend this story and really anything written by Simon Carr. Audio Version: Using three narrators is a gamble in my opinion but it really worked for this story! Taff Girdlestone, Noni Lewis, and Emma Clarke all did a great job bringing the story and hilarity to life.

Comedy meets zombies

Quirky story of Zombies in villages. Nice listen and does seem like could happen in real life.

A Zombie Bit Myffanie (that's what she said) 10/10

I'm not going to lie, it was the naughty double entendre in the book's title, that grabbed my attention to read the story summary and to ask for a copy to review. I'm glad I did too, because this book was absolutely hilarious from start to finish. So cheers to the author for the opportunity.

The characters and story are nothing to be taken too seriously, but they're not supposed to be. It's just a fun, silly zombie story, packed with laughs. If I had to compare it with anything, I'd say it gives off Simon Pegg 'Shaun of the Dead' vibes etc. which means it will not disappoint in the slightest. So sit back and enjoy the ride.

Above all else, the narration is what really makes this audiobook shine. The british style humor and references throughout it, just wouldn't land the same, had it been narrated in any other accent in my opinion, so well done there too. Seriously, this story is good solid fun. Highly recommended. I couldn't fault it. 10/10 score. Well worth your time.

A Zombie Apocalypse?

I find Simon Carr's stories entertaining and this one was no exception; however, I did have to work my way past the first chapter where the posterior cracks got a bit much. The author's creative twist to the zombie apocalypse genre was unique and I enjoyed the story. I liked the way the author took an ordinary couple who were just trying to save the property value of their home and pitted them against a zombie hoard. I recommend this novel to others with the caveat that there was foul language utilized and some of the humor was excessive. I was very entertained by the use of three narrators, Taff Girdlestone, Noni Lewis, and Emma Clarke. They all did an excellent job and their performance added to the story's entertainment. I was given a free copy of the audiobook and I have voluntarily posted this review.

Side-splitting entertainment!

A Zombie Bit Myffanie

Written by Simon Carr

Narrated by Taff Girdlestone, Noni Lewis, and Emma Clarke.

I received a copy of the audio version of the book and I am voluntarily leaving a review.

Barry and Myffanie are perfectly content, going about their day-to-day business, keeping themselves to themselves. They are lucky enough to now live in the picturesque Welsh valley, in the small town of Ptthwit. Unfortunately, an explosion at a Cosmetics lab nearby, sets off a chain of events that find poor Barry and Myffanie totally unprepared.

As I have listened to several other audiobooks by the brilliantly talented Simon Carr, I had an idea what to expect and was not disappointed! From the outset until the resolution, I laughed out loud at the quips and puns included. A Zombie Bit Myffanie is impossible to put down. I constantly had to listen to a little more and then some, even repeating certain parts to whomever I happened to be next to! The author has a side-splitting sense for a plot, characterization and creating cleverly written humour. With a narrative that actively engages the reader in Barry and Myffanie’s quandary, funny scenarios, I very much recommend.

To add further to the imagination of the book, the audio version is brought to life by the amazing narrators. I LOVE the fact that there is more than one narrator, which in itself makes it unique, but Taff Girdlestone is one of the best I have had the pleasure to listn to. His natural skill to audibly act out the character’s lines plus his use of varied dialects is just pure genius.

The book is full of ribald wit but is light-hearted and fantastically entertaining. I can’t wait to read or listen to more from Mr. Carr.

I rate A Zombie Bit Myffanie 5 out of 5 stars.

A laugh riot

Definitely wirth the read/listen.  A light hearted, very funny, yet also very reslustic and relatable take on surviving the in classic zombie apocalypse scenario.  Set in the UK (Wales to be soecific, if I'm not mistaken), the accents and language just made it all the more amusing for me.  Definitely one to add to my favs list!

Funny!

I received a free audiobook copy in exchange for a review.

What a story! What a narration! I loved both so much!

The only thing I wasn’t/am not a fan of is when authors have the dialogue tag before the dialogue. For example, “She mumbled…” or “In a soft voice, she said…” That’s just me, though. Otherwise, this story was hilarious and the male narrator, Taff Girdlestone, did an awesome job!

I can’t listen to more stories by both the author and the narrator.

a very funny zombie apocalypse

I will start this review by saying, its the first time that I have a zombie flipping the bird to someone, this was a very amusing read, I laughed out loud quite a lot (I was doing my things around the house, and my family thought I went nuts hahah), its a very funny approach to a zombie apocalypse, Barrie is a ER doctor, but he and his wife reminds me very much of the couple in the old show “on the bus” hahah Barrie really despairs with his Myfanie. You even got cows that talk hahah thou It took a while for me to understand that they were actual cows hahah.

You have lots of action, and amusing descriptions, I highly recommend this story, even if you don’t like zombies, but like humour this book is really funny, and I would say, it is for a more mature audience.

I loved the people reading this book, they did the voices and gave lots of emotions to bring the story to life, and I did love that.

I got a free Audible code from the author in facebook and this is my honest opinion.
