The dark side of humanity is explored in this electrifying science fiction thriller in which an epidemic virus terrorizes the Earth.
Causing its inhabitants to strike out on murderous rampages, the virus is caught through conversation and, once contracted, leads its host on a strange journey - into another world where the undead roam the streets of the smallest towns and largest cities, hungry for human flesh. Describing in chilling detail what it would be like if thousands suddenly caught such a virus and struck out on a mass, never-ending, cannibalistic spree, this terrifying narrative is perfect for those who are ready to explore their darkest secret imaginings through a sinister and compelling literary work of art.
This new edition includes a new afterword on the making of the new motion picture.

Reseñas editoriales
What happens when a virus spreads with the simple ease of a conversation? And what if that virus takes over your body and sends you into an alternate world, one where the undead roam en masse looking for human flesh? Pontypool Changes Everything is a dark and sinister adventure from the mind of Tony Burgess that details just such a frightful journey. Performed by veteran narrator, Gary Dikeos, with a gripping authority, this audiobook will send shivers through listeners as they find themselves in the mysterious and terrifying tale of cannibalistic madness.
Looking back, the author really lost me when he wrote about a doe giving birth to thirty (seriously) fawns who then freeze to death, mired in a sea of afterbirth. The next morning, children were cheerfully playing hockey on the frozen afterbirth and fashioning grim pucks from the frozen animals. As if that wasn't bad enough, the real clincher for me was that this bizarre scene did not seem to advance the plot in any discernible way, unless the author was simply striving for absurdity (mission thoroughly accomplished) or he came back to it at some point after I stopped.
I should have stopped after that scene, which was within the first half hour. But I kept going. I really tried to like this book, but I just couldn't. If you like authors who endlessly use ham-handed similes and metaphors to expound on the most trivial details, or books who are in the so-bad-it's-good category, check this out. Otherwise, Pontypool Changes Everything just proves that a good idea simply isn't enough.
Don't waste your credits or time.

Not what I was expecting

I've not seen the movie, which I understand is better, but completely different from the book.
On the Audible version, Gary Dikeos does as good a job as might be expected with the material he's been given.
Pontypool is Ponderous

The weirdest zombie novel I’ve ever read

The story is convoluted, words and events tripping over themselves. There's some very creative writing here, but its lost and tangled up in itself, as if it's chasing its own tail. While creative, it detracts more than it adds. Some events are confusing because you're not sure why they happened. Dude has potential but needs an editor and a few more drafts.
The narrator was horrible. I'm not sure if this is, "his style" or if he was just... bad. The delivery was so stilted it might have been a robot.
Definitely avoid.
It was free but no thank you.

it's an interesting story, but the monotone voice just makes me zone out.
The narrator sounds like the Tiktok AI voice...

I ended up putting this down with some hours left to get to the end.
Sorry for the negativity..
Terrible story continuity, overly colorful writing is polluted

Weird as hell, but great!

The only relation this book has to the movie (which is actually pretty good) is that the virus is transmitted by words. Cool concept, poorly executed in the book. Honestly, I don’t even know how I realized that in the book. It might be because I watched the movie first that I was able to figure it out. How nonsensical does a zombie novel have to be if you can’t even figure out how it is transmitted?
If this book had not already been free from Audible, I would have asked for a refund.
