Publisher's summary

The zombies have escaped Zombie Park!

The plague has brought the dead to life and their hunger for the living is insatiable. The Zombie Park has been overrun and the dead have been unleashed upon the city causing horrific deaths in their path. The spread of the plague seems to be unstoppable this time as it ravages the population. There is no warning of the breach and the public is left to fend for themselves grabbing any weapon they have on hand to fight the undead.

How was the park overrun? Who let the zombies out of their enclosures? Will the military drop a nuclear bomb on Valparaiso, Indiana, in order to keep the zombie plague from spreading any further and is there any way to survive once you're trapped in the middle of the starving corpses? Can they be stopped?

Zombies Park - Escaped!

I enjoyed this book so much. I liked the first one in the series ever so slightly more because of the anticipation of how badly this bad idea was going to go. In this book, part 2, the zombies have been created, perfected and let loose. This part is more about escaping the flesh eaters, survival and the reaction of the US military. This tale includes subterfuge, coverups, murder, former human flesh eating machines, some brief sparks of romance and much more. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys an undead story with a dose of humor!

ACTION

Wow, if you are looking for a zombie book that is packed with tins of action amd very descriptive zombie eating... then you have come to the right place! This book is packed full of action and descriptive eating... just when you think someone is gonna be ok... nope they get eaten! The narrator takes this to another level. My guess is this narrator loves zombies as much as I do because he is really getting into it. The characters have life you hear that life. Then they die by being eaten and dang if you can't picture it and hear it because it's that intense. You will not be sorry if you get this book. Especially if you love zombies that actually eat!

love it, like I did the first one

I loved this first book in this series. Zombie Park is worth the read. this is book two and is not a stand alone book. ( and thats ok, because book 1 rocked)
Though I didn't think it was great as the first one, it was still good and worth the read if you like zombie books!
I really like Mr Rose's main voice, and would listen to him again anytime!

okay

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

While this book kind of felt disjointed, I did like it. Sometimes it was shocking, but so is life. I did prefer the narrators normal voice verses some of the characters though.

A big disappointment

I was really disappointed in the book. The storyline seem to be written for a child. The way the characters spoke seemed forced and stilted. The reader's voice for certain female characters were down right annoying. I could not finish the book because of the narration.

Meh, just another zombie apocalypse

I have really loved some of the zombie stories I have listened to, but unfortunately not this one. The premise was too silly for me and the story had no depth. Much of the plot was predictable and I found the stereotypes adolescent.

The zombies are loose!

The Zombie Park idea didn’t turn out so well. The zombies, undead humans and undead animals alike are on the run, leaving a trail of death and destruction everywhere they go. The PETZ organization (People for the Ethical Treatment of Zombies), have done their work well by unleashing havoc on the city of Valparaiso. How this is going to turn out is anyone’s guess. Will the authorities or the Army be able to stop the spread of infection as the zombies continue to feed and kill? Will the Army’s real plans for the park come to light? Stay tuned to find out.

Action Packed!

The zombie apocalypse is here and this town and running wild as the occupants work to get out of town without being eaten. There's always a zombie around the corner, behind the door and their backs. And not only human zombies but animals.

The town harbors a zombie park. When they get out, everything goes wild. The action alone kept me on the edge. The story includes several characters and jumped quite a bit from one group to the next. At first that was a bit confusing and I didn't feel as much connection with the characters as I like but there;s enough gore and action I enjoyed it.

I loved the opening with all the zombie growling but wasn't so much fond of all the voices. The female's didn't sound female and there were so many characters it was hard to tell them apart by voice alone.

It's a solid story, gory, and suspenseful!

I received this book free for my honest review.

Second book in a campy but fun zombie series

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

As with the first book in this series, this book doesn't take itself too seriously. It is a sarcastic, over the top, zombie apocalypse series. Persephone Rose's narration only serves to play to the deliberate "campyness". If you take it for what it is intended to be, it is funny and entertaining. You should start with the first book, though, or you won't know what the heck is going on, or get all the jokes.

Escaped

The zombies have escaped the park and doing what zombies do, eating humans and converting them to zombies all the gory stuff but missed the smart talking/communicating zombies in this book. The characters are likable some funny some evil. Ben is dead and there are new characters, General Poe is still in it. You must read or listen to the 1st of the series. Narration was good especially the voices of the different characters. Recommend this book for zombie lovers. Can’t wait for Plague of the Living Dead on audio.
