Dead of Night

A Zombie Novel

De: Jonathan Maberry

Narrado por: William Dufris

A prison doctor injects a condemned serial killer with a formula designed to keep his consciousness awake while his body rots in the grave. But all drugs have unforeseen side-effects. Before he could be buried, the killer wakes up. Hungry. Infected. Contagious. This is the way the world ends. Not with a bang…but a bite.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“This has to be one of the best traditional zombie tales I've ever read... This is a zombie book for the ages.” —Seattle Post Intelligencer

“Maberry grounds the story with scientific confidence, spares no attention to detail, and presents the undead as more than faceless targets.” —Publishers Weekly

Very Mayberry!

I really enjoyed this book. If you're a Mayberry fan, you will, too. Hoping there will be a follow up.

Don't listen to the would be zombie novelist who commented

Don't listen to the angry would be writers comment. It almost convinced me not to buy this book by misleading me on the idea that this is another "smart zombie" book it's not. It's a terrify story of a mad carrier and people trapped in their own bodies watching themselves devour their children and force the pain of living death onto everyone who loved them too much to put them down without hesitation. Give this book a chance it's truly a chilling novel.

Decent

Overall, it was decent. I agree with other reviews in that the narration was not good. It was almost bad enough for me to return the book. As far as the story, it is interesting. There are a few things about the main female character that irked me - something about how men often write female law enforcement officers is offputting.

Small Town Deputy Meets National Guard

What did you love best about Dead of Night?

The main character is a female sheriffs deputy who with her partner takes on the dead and the National Guard to save members of her community.

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

The ending was typical in that it abruptly drops off with no clear conclusions.

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

I think the narrator could have defined the many characters voices with different tones, accent, etc. I feel it tended to run together and at times I lost interest while listening.

Any additional comments?

Perhaps I should have stopped listening to this book and read it.
