DEAD: Snapshot

Leeds, England

De: TW Brown

Narrado por: TW Brown

WARNING: This book contains graphic content that may upset sensitive listeners. Dateline: Leeds, England - Reports have flooded in about the dead returning to life and attacking the living. These reports are confirmed and all citizens are warned that there may not be any immediate help forthcoming.

When all order is stripped away, what direction will normal people take in the end? Shadiyah Kasim has witnessed a brutal attack on her sister, she seeks vengeance. Not on the dead that are wiping out humanity, but on the living that harmed her sister.

Simon Wood was about to start a life as a police officer. His sister died after what seemed like little more than a scratch inflicted by an attacker that she had dismissed as nothing more than a crazed scratter.

When the dead take over, two people are left to decide in what direction they will travel with what remains of their lives. Do the old definitions of good and evil still hold true?

Welcome to DEAD: Snapshot - Leeds England.

another great one

I don't get a lot of time to read, but Todd's books make me want to drive further!

Oh no moment!

I had one of those 'oh no' moments when I first purchased this title.I was not aware this was the second book in a series - was this one going to make any sense? But I needed have worried because one of the unique things about this series is that you the reader can contact the author with a location for the next in the series. You just have to explain why you think the location would be a good one. Apparently, only one or two characters are involved in other locations. So in reality it makes no difference if you are reading or listening to the first or the second or the eighth for that matter! It really is seperate zombie stories based upon suggested locations given to the author.

I got to admit I like this idea of the author, it is a novel idea and I am happy to say I think the author has the talent to make it work!

Speaking of the authors talent, he is also the narrator for this title and he really does an excellent job with that as well. Far better then some I have heard recently on new releases!

Strangely I couldn’t help but think of R. R Haywood’s ‘Undead’ series. Perhaps it was just the location (England) and or the similar name, perhaps it might even be the cover design which have the same sort of layout? This one certainly doesn’t go down the same path as the ‘Undead’ series in looking at the reason or even nature of the zombie outbreak. But it is equally as entertaining!

DEAD: Snapshot: Leeds, England does have a couple of surprises I can’t give to much away but it does remind me a little of
Z Children: Awakening: Children of the Z, Book 1 which I reviewed earlier.

The start of the audio title includes a bit of information about the series and just some of the observations from the author about his writings. It is clear the author is certainly doing his best to improve his art! I personally will be looking out for his writings in the future.

I particularly enjoyed the ending and thought this seriously could be turned into a great series in itself.

It is a two thumbs up from this fast fatman!

another great listen.

Brown is good at creating characters that are interesting. we all want to think of ourselves as heroes and leaders. Most of us ary like the soldier who said I was just following orders.

great read!!

the stories and vignettes for OCONUS survival tales usually include the accents of respective regions, but this was still good nonetheless

damn

had my hook line and zeds from the start and the voice of the author had me missing my best friend as he did the voices! but but I'm blick!!!!

Really Really Good

Still on my Dead Journey and this one is really good and gives closure at the end! Great listen and TW Brown is a great narrator! I’m sad because I only have 1 Snapshot left and I will be finish all of the Dead. I will of course start over from the Ugly Beginning but still... I NEED MORE!

Really needs a professional narrator

I've got a lot of respect for anyone who can write a book, but this really needed a professional narrator. It's supposed to be happening in England but the accents are all American and I just couldn't get over that. The older woman in the story actually sounded more like a black Southern woman then English.

That said the story is good, but the narration was distracting from it. I'd recommend it, with reservations.

Thoughts

Loved the book dislikes none actually becoming a fan of zombie books this story was awesome can't wait for more

Holy Cow!

If you could sum up DEAD: Snapshot in three words, what would they be?

death, blood, mistrust

What other book might you compare DEAD: Snapshot to and why?

All the other DEAD books

Have you listened to any of TW Brown’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes, He does an amazing job and since they are his books he knows exactly where inflections are supposed to be.

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

Yes, Shadiyah was awesome to follow. It's hard in some ways to understand her point of view on all the situations she was put in and that she put herself in. I felt bad for her at first but after a while her reactions as well as her mercilessness made my jaw drop at times. IT WAS GREAT!!!

Any additional comments?

Simon and the rest of the group at the beginning were important but not as interesting in a lot of ways to follow but were important to offset and show just how far out "out of the box" that Shadiyah had become in such a short time

Another entry in the Dead Snapshot series.

About what I expected story- wise. Performance using British accents would have been a nice touch though. All in all it was okay at best.
