Publisher's summary

It has been months...Steve has seen the worst in himself...and others. Now, it seems that zombies aren't the only threat to the lives of his companions. Will he lose those he loves to the walking dead...or a murderer? Kevin is the last geek standing, and a reunion with an old acquaintance puts him back in charge of a group of survivors. Will he fail in the one thing he thought he was prepared for? Or will he find his redemption?

Juan struggles with Mackenzie's past...a scientist tries to create Eden with an unlikely Eve...and a young girl struggles to keep her sanity at the hands of a monster far worse than the ones gathered outside the walls of her family estate.

Really entertaining!

Who was your favorite character and why?

My favorite character has been Kevin, but Steve is a close second. Aleah, Heather, Teresa, and Dr Zahn are great female characters who show a strong side, to some of the women who are weaker in the books (which would be natural in a catastrophe. Some strong, some not) The two were just average every day guys before the zombpocalypse started but each finds something to step up for and be more than who they were before. I've really enjoyed their development.

Any additional comments?

I'll be honest, if you've made it to book 3, you already know that you're enjoying these books and the stories that are being woven in this world created in horror. The stories get better and better because with each one, the stakes are high, emotions feel real, and you grow to care about a good deal of the characters. Especially the main story lines. This is a great series for a zombie enthusiast.

loved it!

this was a very good addition! the stories are so different that you cant get bored l!

Zombies vs. Humanity at its' worst and best

Would you consider the audio edition of DEAD: Fortunes & Failures to be better than the print version?

I like both the print and audio book versions of this book. Both of them are great.

Who was your favorite character and why?

This book is several stories on a series of rotating chapters. One of the main characters in one of the stories is Kevin. He is one of the absolutely perfect persons to have with you in a zombie apocalypse. He is strong, resourceful, very smart, and very logical. Without him lots of people probably would have died early in the story. He is a bit of a geek, and that is a good thing. Absolutely one of my favorite characters in this book.

Which scene was your favorite?

I got a kick out of when Steve woke up from after being out of it for a few weeks. He is everyone in this point when we all feel hurt or weak and sulk about it.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

You might want to listen to this book all in one setting, but don't. It's best savored. You cannot really get the whole feel of the story if you listen to it all in one go. Take your time, let the story seep in bit by bit and scare the hell outta you.

Any additional comments?

This story starts from a prior stopping point of this series. It starts strong and goes straight to an odd queasy icky factor that helps bring the story alive. After that it slows down for a bit before it picks back up with a vengeance. The characters are so well written that you get emotionally invested in their lives, and in some cases, their deaths.

I really like the Narrator Andrew McFerrin’s voice. His accents and voices for the characters help draw the listener into the heart of the story. I greatly enjoyed how he helped bring them to life. This book is part of the Dead series by TW Brown. It is thirteen hours and thirty-four minutes long. Warning – Not for those who scare easily. This book is full of zombies, blood, guts, gore, awesome scenes, some horrible people, and a helluva lot of crazy cool stories.

I was left feeling very happy we are not living in an apocalyptic dying world. Dodging the dangers of a zombie scratch and bite would be horrible enough, but dealing with the worst of humanity would suck the most. This book rocks. It keeps you hooked from start till end. Definitely worth getting more of this series.

Yet another solid entry into this series

I was given this free review copy audio book at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

This is another great continuation of the zombie apocalypse story. The narrator continues to be FANTASTIC! The series continues to follow the groups from book 2 and still pulls no punches. Definitely a series I will continue.

so good

T W Brown's Dead:Fortunes and Failures is the third book in a series about a zombie apocalypse and different perspectives of it. It continues in same style as the other books by giving the reader multiple perspectives of the going ons. I love the directions it's all going in. Its well written, well developed and highly entertaining- utterly addictive. I

Narrator does a fantastic job bringing the story to life. Really brought the characters' personalities out. Love it!

Enjoyable read

I've enjoyed the series and just bought the next 3. I like the narrator which is important, the book can be fantastic but ruined if the narrator is not good.

kept me glued to my headphone

kept me glued to my headphone and kept on listening I finished the book in record time and was glad that I had the next one!

Once again, a good continuation of the story

Who was your favorite character and why?

I think I like Kevin the best, although Steve is a close second.

What does Andrew McFerrin bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

He's a great narrator. He changes the voices just enough so that you can tell who's who. There's nothing bad I can say about him.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, of course. I wanted to hurry and get to the next book!

Any additional comments?

The books just keep getting better and better.

Steve's loving and protective relationship with the orphan Thalia was touching.
