Edge of my seat action, from start to finish

As great as the show The Walking Dead combined with Resident Evil, great heroine who is smart and brave and not stupid like Twilight. The story flows well with you never knowing what will happen next.

Fantastic Story made better

Amanda Hocking concludes the series with an exciting story an a natural conclusion. The reader is engaged and interested the entire time.

Overall Nice Short Story

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

No

This story needs more meat and potatoes
It makes a great short story, not a full book

One of my favorite Apocalypse Novels

I love both hollowland books but hollowmen is my favorite I've read this book hundreds of times over the years and I always come back to it Remy is a great main character and her new group in this sequel is better than lazlo blue and Harlow from the first book Daniels is especially a great character serg and boden are great too and Ripley is back and better than ever The thing I love about both hollowland books is that it's so realistic nobody is safe the world of hollowland is a gritty apocalypse where death is around every corner supplies are scarce and danger lurks everywhere luckily though the ending was perfect and gave a positive closure to the series the narration in the Audible version is good too

highly recommended

As good as Hollowland

I completed Hollowland and Hollowmen in a weekend of housework and errands that would have felt like a wasted weekend without them. I can see why Amanda Hocking has been described as an online phenomenon. Since listening to Hollowland I have searched for everything she has written and she is quite prolific. My wish list looks like her bibiography...and I have yet to be disappointed. I am not her target audience, it's been a long time since I could claim young adulthood but the genre is producing so many excellent books that I just can't resist. I also have a tween who loves to read (and listen!) and I like to know what she is reading and offer suggestions. Every once in awhile I find an author like Hocking and I get to feel like a superhero in my daughters eyes! Thanks to Amanda Hocking I am metaphorically wearing a giant 'S' on my shirt!

Entertaining great book

This was a very good book, I particularly enjoyed the sequence between books "Hollowmen and Hollowland" the narrator was great, funny at times when she tried to imitate male voices, overall she did a great job. The book was easy to understand and follow, the story, characters and plot was great. I enjoyed this book. A final note, this book is not a typical zombie story, although there were fights for survival, it concentrated mostly in the humane area, great twist to the story.

Entertaining read but could have been better

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

After having read the first book - which I thoroughly enjoyed - I was looking forward to this book. Overall I enjoyed it but it was not as interesting as the first. I also didn't believe some of the decisions the characters made when faced with challenges. They made me feel that the originally strong character that had survived by her wits had turned into an airhead. But overall, a good read that held my interest until the end.

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

The ending was realistic but not what I had hoped for, which leaves room for a sequel.

What three words best describe Eileen Stevens???s performance?

Believable, entertaining, good.

Do you think Hollowmen needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

Yes; to change the ending of the story and if it makes sense, to pick out and follow other characters once all loose ends are tied up with the originals.

loved it

really enjoyed this book, tired of how they leave me hanging after each book... I need more lol

Loved how she wrapped up the ending!

Would you consider the audio edition of Hollowmen to be better than the print version?

I have only listened to the audio

What was one of the most memorable moments of Hollowmen?

When she finds her brother after she found out that the compound burned down

Which character – as performed by Eileen Stevens – was your favorite?

I always pull for a strong female character, and Remy is the epitome of them. Not only is she badass in killing zombies but she is also just as devoted as keeping her loved ones safe

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

It made me laugh a few times, but it also made me sad. So many characters died in this book, just when i would start to like someone, BAM, dead!

SPOILER:************************************

It made me really sad that Harlow and Blue died but i love how she kept hold of the realism throughout the whole book. If this was to really happen, people wouldn't just simply live because we liked them, a lot of people would die. In TV shows, i.e. The Walking Dead.. They very rarely kill off main characters, and while i love the show and hate to see the characters go there isn't much of a sense of realism. When people in this book separate (like her and Lazlow) they don't see each other again. A lot of authors would have just given us the ending we wanted with Remy, Lazlow, Max, Harlow, Blue, and Ripley living happily ever after, but that just isn't realistic. Sometimes what makes a book good are the realistic and true moments that happen. It did take me a little by surprise because i am so used to getting the perfect fairy tale ending that i love, but it was really refreshing. It didn't end badly, but it was just as it should have been. The zombies weren't magically going to disappear, and though they found a nice place to settle and call home, there will always be the threat of zombies out there, and instead of living in constant fear that something would happen, they finally just let things happen and try to be happy for as long as they can.

Any additional comments?

I would like to see a novella from Lazlows POV explaining what happened to Harlow and if he lived or died. It would be nice to see him fall in love again and get the ending he deserves, but i have a feeling he died lol

Loved it

I really enjoyed this book...cant wait for others from Amanda Hockings...ive read others of hers. amd I enjoy them..i love her writing
