Eaters

By: Michelle DePaepe

Narrated by: Heather Jane Hogan

When Cheryl and her fiancé, a soldier who has just gotten back from Afghanistan, are on their way back to Denver after a reunion camping trip in the mountains, she hears that an epidemic has spread like wildfire. She has no idea that just a few hours later her life will be threatened by hoards of "Eaters", the infected whose lust for rotten food quickly turns to an insatiable desire for human flesh once their corpses are reanimated.

Cheryl witnesses the best and worst of human nature as she and a group of refugees struggle to stay alive. What will she have to do to survive in this new dark world?

Older Zombie Entry

Pretty good entry. Good character development with a few unique plot twists. Narration was a little above average. The main drawback is that there is no follow-up book. There was a decent ending, but it was obviously meant to be a series. So, you will be frustrated when you reach the end.

Really not worth the read

It's not TERRIBLE, but neither is it engaging or exciting. The character development is weak, the story line lacks the urgency and terror of a good zombie novel. By the end of the book I felt disappointed by the formulaic plot, and the uninspired narration. I found my mind wandering to other things while listening to this book, which never happens in a truly well written, gripping book.

Sucks

What disappointed you about Eaters?

Story line rather simple and cliche'. Some parts of story don't make sense. Not much expression from narrator. Sounds like she reading a fairy tail. Some parts of story sound like one of those romance novels. Don't quite work in a zombie novel. The entire book felt like it was made because the author wanted to jump on the band wagon of the zombie genre craze.

What do you think your next listen will be?

Not one by this author.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Disappointment

Any additional comments?

Waste of time. Only finished it because I paid for it.

WTG - I really enjoyed this book

I have to say - I was a bit skeptical - but I listened to this in a day and a half while at work, this is a great novel, her desriptions of the eaters in certain situations, I could really picture it - its not the every day Zombie Blood Gore book, but seriously - very well thought out, very descriptive and realistic to a point!! WTG Ms. DePaepe - I look forward to book 2 - hopefully

Are you kidding me ?

The main character Cheryl was the dumbest person ever !! She should have been killed off in the first sentence of the book. Every time she was told her about the zombie apocalypse she would say that can't be true when they said run she would say why or stand paralyzed until someone says run idiot. (I added the idiot lol) Who falls asleep at a fountain in the middle of town in the middle of a zombie apocalypse? Idiot Cheryl !!! This was not a good story made no sense whatsoever and it ended as if the writer didn't know how to end it so she had Cheryl make one of her stupid declaration and it ended. Dumb,dumb,dumb!! I want my money back . I have read many really good zombie apocalypse books but this isn't one of them. Please don't write a second book I could less what happens to these characters or this story.
