Alice in Zombieland

De: Gena Showalter

Narrado por: Natalie Gold

She won't rest until she's sent every walking corpse back to its grave. Forever.

Had anyone told Alice Bell that her entire life would change course between one heartbeat and the next, she would have laughed. From blissful to tragic, innocent to ruined? Please. But that's all it took. One heartbeat. A blink, a breath, a second, and everything she knew and loved was gone.

Her father was right. The monsters are real.

To avenge her family, Ali must learn to fight the undead. To survive, she must learn to trust the baddest of the bad boys, Cole Holland. But Cole has secrets of his own, and if Ali isn't careful, those secrets might just prove to be more dangerous than the zombies.

Alice is Awesome!!

Any additional comments?

NUMBER OF HEARTS: 4
I am ashamed to admit that I have been eyeing this series since it came out in 2012 and I am just now getting to read (listening to) it. Please don’t ask my way I waited to so long. All I got is that I get to read (listen to) all four books in a row (see there was a method behind my madness).
Where to begin? Where to begin? Alice Bell has always thought that her dad was just crazy. Seeing monsters in the dark. Being afraid of the dark. And teaching Alice how to fight. But what Alice didn’t know was that her life was forever going to change and she is about to learn that everything her father saw and believed is true.
I don’t want to give you more then that. You need to discover the truth for yourself. I loved Alice. She is feisty, determined, loyal and about to change the world. I can’t wait to see what happens next to her. Cole Holland. How to tell you about Cole. Think one bada$$, zombie-killing, dark, serious, determine and totally and utterly in love with Alice. So Cole is pretty much awesome!!!!! I am a little scared to see what Ms. Showalter makes Alice and Cole go through, but I trust it will all work out.
Let’s talk Kat. No not a meow, meow kitty. Kat, Alice’s new best friend. I want a Kat that will follow me around and tell me how awesome she is and how lucky I am to have her as a friend. Kat is just awesome. She lended so much comic relief to this story. Oh and her love story with Frosty is sweet and firey!!!!!
I really can’t wait to get started on book to Through the Zombie Glass!!!!
Ms. Gold does a really nice job bring Ms. Showalter’s words to life. I enjoyed listening to her tell me this story. My only issue is that there was not enough differentially between the male voices and the female voices.

I purchased this book from Audible.com and this review is my own opinion and not a paid review.

fantastic and can't wait to read the rest

great read it makes you want to read all in the series.gena showalter is such a good author

Sooo good

I was a little hesitant to start listening to this book but dang am I happy that I did. I love the whole dynamic and absolutely everything about this book. It is very different from any other zombie story I have ever heard of. It’s a touch magical with lots of creepy moments as well as romantic ones. I love the slow burn romance and can’t wait to listen to more of it! Also I have never loved a character more than I love the best friend Kat and younger sister Emma.

Great Story, Meh Narration

I thoroughly enjoyed this book however the performance of the narrator was mediocre. I felt like she wasn’t connected to story and basked it in a monotone light. On the plus side, The narrator gave great character distinction.

thought it was standalone thankfully it's a series

Alice is badass and the story is really good. I wasn't expecting a romance but they do a good job of incorporating the juicy bits while not taking away from her character's strength.

Amazing

What did you love best about Alice in Zombieland?

I actually liked just about everything about this. It had its slow moments but the narration, story, characters were all great. It was a bit predictable but I really would like to see a second book continue the story.

What did you like best about this story?

The modern setting and twist they put on zombies was quite good. It wasn't what you traditionally know about zombies which was nice.

Any additional comments?

I feel the association with Alice in Wonderland is a bit of a stretch. While I am aware that the idea of "Underland" is open to be interpreted and told many ways and does not have to follow an AiW theme it still just in no way resembled a trip to an alternate universe through a rabbit hole. I see where the attempt to make the connection was but I just feel that the title is a bit misleading as a fan of Underland stories. But as a stand alone book was well worth the listen and I strongly recommend.

Best thing I've read since Harry Potter & Twilight

I couldn't put the book down!!! so I had to get audio version to keep reading!!

A Unique Theme in the Zompoc Genre

Any additional comments?

My daughter loved this book so I had to check it out. What an interesting take on the whole zombie idea. I did enjoy the story, but I think I’ve been reading a little too much YA lately because it didn’t keep my interest as much as I was expecting. I did enjoy it enough that I plan to check out the next book at some point.

Drama, Violence, and Zombies, Oh My!

This was a very enjoyable listen. Although it was a little bit slow to begin with, as soon as the action starts you will get sucked right in. Gena Showalter has put such a wonderful twist on this classic tale, and has created a story that will have you dying for more.

love this series ❤️

wonderful book, own a copy but love to listen to it as well. very well written! Dive on in
