Positive

A Novel

De: David Wellington

Narrado por: Nick Podehl

In the best-selling vein of Guillermo Del Toro and Justin Cronin, the acclaimed author of Chimera and The Hydra Protocol delivers his spectacular breakout novel - an entertaining pause-resisting zombie epic that is sure to become a classic.

Anyone can be positive....

The tattooed plus sign on Finnegan's hand marks him as a Positive. At any time the zombie virus could explode in his body, turning him from a rational human into a ravenous monster. His only chance of a normal life is to survive the last two years of the potential incubation period. If he reaches his 21st birthday without an incident, he'll be cleared.

Until then Finn must go to a special facility for positives, segregated from society to keep the healthy population safe. But when the military caravan transporting him is attacked, Finn becomes separated. To make it to safety, he must embark on a perilous cross-country journey across an America transformed - a dark and dangerous land populated with heroes, villains, madmen, and hordes of zombies. And though the zombies are everywhere, Finn discovers that the real danger may be his fellow humans.

Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome meets World War Z and I Am Legend in this thrilling tale that has it all: a compelling story, great characters, and explosive action, making Positive the ultimate zombie novel of our time.

positive great listen. loved every second

loved it was just over too soon. great narrator too. excellent voice to listen to

Well written. Good story. Good narration.

I really enjoyed this book. Great vision of post zombie apocalypse society. It kept me routing for the main characters.

One of the best post apocalyptic novels I've read

Loved this book, constantly kept me wanting to know what's next, heartbreaking and inspiring. In a word awesome

great story

this was, for me, the meshing of a great narrator that I've discovered in the last couple years bringing life to a book by an author I discovered almost a decade ago. both do a great job at pulling you into their created world and make you pull for the hero and wish death on the bad guys. dont want to give anything away so I'll leave it at that.

Entertaining camper through the apocalypse

A word of caution: this is more like an adventure than like a real novel. One thing happens after another as our hero tries to navigate his way to safety in a post-acolyptic world riddled by zombies. And yet, it is so well written that it turns out to be very entertaining. I can't wait for the next in the series as surely there have to be more coming.

It was good, nothing memorable.

It was average(ish), but very predictable. It was long and drawn out. The narrator got on my nerves in the beginning but got better toward the end of the book. I don't think I would recommend this book.

Positive is a positively good book

This book was a different kind of zombie book. Lots of zombies but other interesting characters. Long but not tediously so. Nick Podehl is a great narrator.

Interesting...

This story was interesting. It has a good end- and a lot of good moments. It was drawn out, it felt very long and some parts seemed unnecessary to the plots overall theme. I think some parts were over described and some were under described. It could have been made into a series and been more interesting with the amount of detail that was shared, but also with the detail that was left out. I would recommend. 8/10. I did receive this book free and I reviewed by choice.

Speaker

really appreciated the voices given to each unique character,been meaning to finish this after my copy was chewed up and throughly enjoyed it

Broke the spell

Some things in this book are masterful like what the second generation didn't know, the psychology of the victims of a dreadful life facing dreadful people, and the grittiness of life after the apocalypse. What I didn't like is some times when something in the story would break the spell for instance they had a battle and they had time to prepare and some people who knew a little about combat but they hid in houses and the bullets went through the walls and wounded some people. I couldn't help thinking have you ever heard of a foxhole or even a shallow ditch or dirt burm or a basement. In another instance they found a grocery store that hadn't been looted 20 years after the apocalypse... really... come on. It was a good book but there were some things that were completely unbelievable for me.
