Threshold: The Dead Years, Book 1

I love this narrator. I mentioned in Book 0, that he sounds really weird at first, but he grows on you. His voice is strange sounding to begin with, then he draws out the vowel of every last word of a sentence and has a slight lilt to end the sentence. I have criticized other narrators for this same trait, but for this guy it works and for this type of story especially. He is sort of a male version of Anne Flosnik. Their styles are not the same, but it is the unique weirdness that makes it all come together. Flosnik is great for the fantasy works of Robin Hobb.

Olah is also a good writer. His characters are normal like you and me and they grow on you. I liked them and did not want anything to happen to them. Now, this is not a Zombie book. No where in the book is the word Zombie used. It is a Feeders book, because that sounds so much better? The high school kid Jason, does not know what to call creatures who used to be human, are reanimated and want to eat you. The newscasters also have no clue, so they call them Feeders. If you are Zombie addict like me, this Feeder book will fill that craving.

I had already read this book but found I really enjoyed the audio version as well.
