unique

Enjoyable, some unique twists in the typical zombie apocalypse story. Good listen. Good performance. I'm listening to the next one!

Great follow up book.

What made the experience of listening to All That I See the most enjoyable?

I liked this one even better than the first - which you must read first. If you have ever wondered what would happen in a small rural southern town to a regular Joe when the zombie apocalypse comes - this book is a darn good start. Not an action barn burner but a decent amount of suspense and a lot of "realism" in the writer's approach. Worth my time for sure.

Have you listened to any of Scott Aiello’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Consistently solid narrator.

Compelling read

While I enjoyed it and found it extremely compelling, I felt like it suffered from the issue of needing to constantly up the stakes. And while I understand that these characters are mostly untrained, I feel like in reality they would’ve adjusted to the new reality- not going alone, always being upfront, etc. Overall it’s still worth a read!

Great story

Enjoyed this immensely. Great story, little different than some of the zombie story. The narrator did a very good job on this book. Looking forward to listening to book three.

Seed Quest?

There are a some things which didn't make sense and forced me deduct a star for book two of this series. For example, the protagonist has this thing for seeds because he is such a long term thinker. I agree with the other group who thought this was a bit nutty. Way too early to risk life and limb for seeds. I also didn't find it realistic that people would risk their lives in armed confrontation with each other, even if they are thugs. Thugs pick on the helpless. Not those that can shoot back. Another thing was why he didn't go to the helpful group directly after he got out of the nasty "trap". He just does a few things which, I think at least, don't make much sense.

On the other hand many other things he does are great, like satisfyingly punching that you'll-know-who in the face. On the whole, its positive that some things he manages to pull off, but others just don't go as planned.

There is a lot more human conflict and an interesting grey zone of ethics. Remember him bursting through the compound in the first book? Its like the game Fallout, some things will give you bad karma and reputation.

The book has a great climax; but unsatisfying resolution. Shane Gregory better hurry up with the next book because I just gotta know what happens!
