Good story

The story was good. However the narrator sounded strangely robotic, he didn't even seem to draw a breath.

An attention-getting book

The theme of this book was very clear and easy to follow. The characters were developed well, and the story moved along rapidly. The description made the reader feel like he was right there taking part in the action. I would recommend this book if you like science fiction.

Zombie USA

Gotta love zombies! Full of action and likeable characters. Not a fan of the narration, but not a deal breaker. Zombie USA is definitely unique among the zombie books I've read.

I received this audiobook from the author/narrator/publisher in exchange for an honest review.

Couldn't get past the narration

I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review.

I really couldn't judge the book as I could not get in any flow. I tried listening it at regular speed, and a much faster speed to see if that would take out the odd stress and spacing, but I couldn't make sense of what was going on. The narrator does have a nice grounded speaking voice, but it sounded like each sentence was recorded individually and then edited together. It creates a strange stress at the begging of every sentence and they sometimes become disjointed. I made it about 45 minutes in before giving up because I really didn't know what was going on.

A robot for narrator with a great laugh

I really think this book could have been read my an auto robot. It is such a flat narration that really got to my nerves. The funny part is that out of the blue, there is a laugh in the story and the narrator is brought to life. He really does know how to make a convincing and real laugh. One of the best I've heard, witch left me confused, like there was a narrator with double personality.
Anyway, even if one could ignore the narration, the story in itself didn't grabbed me at all and I was very disappointed.
I've read a bunch of book by Paul and have to say his stories are not very consistent in terms of quality, so every story will be a surprise. One thing you can most certainly expect: it would have politics, moral and even a bit of religion in the mix. It seems to me the author writes to pass a message, so sometimes the story is worth it, sometimes (like this time) it's not.
