Taking on the Dead

The Famished Trilogy, Book 1

By: Annie Walls

Narrated by: Amy Barron Smolinski

Life for Kansas was perfect until the day the world changed. She has been hiding out for four years in solitude. It's the only way to survive. The only way not to draw the living dead. Helping a small group of people, she learns the new world might not be what she assumes. Venturing out of her refuge and comfort zone, she meets Rudy, who helps her find a greater purpose. She realizes that the world has moved on without her. Only it's not what she expects. Her knowledge of the living dead grows and only makes her more curious as humanity continues to hang on by a thread. While on her search for answers she finds comfort in new friendships and love, but her past seems as if it will haunt her forever. Kansas takes it upon herself to help other survivors, which would be easy if the famished were the only obstacles. In a trilogy plot thick with twists and turns, it is emotional as much as it is horrifyingly gripping.

Taking on the DEAD

Great book to listen to, I enjoyed the story and listened to it several times.

story was great but the narrator was horrid.

the story kept my interest with the zombie and characters, but the narrator.... who stops a mess up and rereads it on an audio book??? was this book lie budget and couldn't afford to redo the dry mouth or saying the wrong sentence and literally starting over??? it's not the narrators fault and I feel bad the negativity will get directed towards her because her voice fit perfect besides the fact she could of been more animated. but she was the perfect voice. I've already bought book 2 i hope the budget is bigger because she is a narrator and the story is good. looking forward with a positive mind :-)

Why have I never read this until now!!

I loved this book! I loved all the twist and turns had me listening with nervous tension. The tension between both Rudy and Mac. It had so much continuous action that really keeps you listening. The narrator was pleasant to listen too as well!

could have been better...

Good story, bad narration.... I could hear things happening in the back ground, Amy Barron Smolinsk simply read the story but didn't bring it to life.

good story

good story but the performance was lacking; not the voice but the mechanics of the recording
