Midnight: Adrian's Undead Diary, Book 3

This series did a great job at measuring out emotional responses from the listener. It seemed a perfect balance of tension and humour. Honestly I had snot coming out of me a uncontrolled fashion when I heard the shot in the bum story toward the end! The way in which the characters are intertwined with each other and the rest of the story is very enjoyable.

I don’t really need to comment on the plot because this is the third in the series; you wouldn’t start at number three, would you? So I shall keep my comments to the actual delivery of the story: The narrator again does an excellent job bringing the characters to life. The speed of narration was great. I normally speed up the narration to 1.5x or more but this one was perfect at 1.25x

Most of the way through this story I thought this is good, probably the best of the series. But then I got to the end and I was blown away! The ending took me completely by surprise. I won’t give away any plot, but I wonder what the author is going to do if there is another book in the series? I know I will certainly be buying it. In fact I would pre-purchase it!

probably...I would probably and will probably listen to books 1-3 again..and keep going...

I like how Adrian asserted himself and just wont take any crap from anyone...he is a good leader!

books 1-3...and now I am abut to start 4! :)

I probably would have I if I could have committed 4 full hours to it...it was really good...probably my fave of the series so far...but I am still in the beginning!!

More of the story, and I liked it the best so far..I like the diary format, with back story in between...it works for me...and I love this genre...if you like zombie and apocalyptic prepper stuff...this is the series for you, plus there is something more going on here...its got a very very supernatural twist to it! I am starting book 4 now!

I loved it! I don't want to say to much, but WOW! GREAT READ:) definitely an excellent continuation of the series. About to start the fourth book!

Man that ending.. Sent shudders down my spine and hooked me right back in! Great start

This is another great book in what has been a great series thus far. Ups, downs, fighting, crying, and of course Zombies.

This series has been a fantastic listen so far! I stumbled upon this series quite by accident, although I prefer to listen to apocalyptic storylines, I wasn't looking for one when I found the first installment in this series. I chose it and am so glad that I did!! The author does such an amazing job of creating drama, suspense, horror , and sorrow through his writing. However, he also throws in those wonderful laugh out loud moments which one must have during a crisis of this magnitude! I find myself listening to these books everywhere! So much so that my husband complains that I don't listen to him anymore! Oh well, he will be fine!!

Finding out what happens to everyone. Adrian, Gilbert, Abby, Patty at ALPA, the folks at the school, the ones in England and the ones in Africa.

How everyone is starting to figure out that the apocalypse isn't just an illness out of control - there is something else going on - something more....

I've listened to all of Chris Philbrook's audio books so I've listened to quite a bit of James Foster

I laughed and cried

Yes! I'm not an audio fan at all but James Foster absolutely kills it. There are many different accents and voices that come into play in this one and he nails them all. I had so much fun listening to this book!

The closest thing I can think of is The Walking Dead when the survivors discover there is a much larger world out there and they are not alone.

There are so many. If I have to pick just one, it would be the short story "Midnight". Easily the best zompoc origin story ever and James Foster does an amazing job of bringing it to life.

Adrian always makes me laugh. He is so funny without intending to be and the stuff that happens to him...awesomely entertaining!

Boom! Got ya!

I really have no idea. This series stands alone in my experience.

The factory blowing up.

Zombies are not the only thing hunting them!

Best in the series so far. I really enjoyed this book in particular. Sean is a great character opposite of Adrian.

So, I was a little wary after the first book. It wasn’t bad, there just didn’t seem to be a direction. I continued with the series, though, because it was entertaining regardless. The second book started to give hints to some grander scheme. Not many, but enough to realize there was more to the story.<br/><br/>Well, Mr. Philbrook produced it in this book. I was extremely happy with the direction of the plot. Learning the “reason” for the undead was completely new to me, and I give lots of kudos for originality.<br/><br/>Book 3 also held more action, story sub plots, and character development than the previous three books. <br/><br/>I really liked that not all the “bad” guys were actually bad. This is something that I think is way over dramatized in apocalyptic novels. There would always be a few who would take advantage of the lawlessness, but realistically, most people would be more worried about feeding themselves and their friends/family than raping and pillaging for the fun of it. Sometimes people have to do bad things for survival, but not because they are evil. I really liked how Mr. Philbrook ended the dispute with the other survival group.<br/><br/>As I said in the previous reviews, I am not a fan of switching from first person to third person. And again, Mr. Philbrook does a stand up job at this. Any other author that wishes to do this should take notes from him.<br/><br/>I will also say, for the first time, the narrator “James Foster” started to grow on me. This happens sometimes with audio books. I didn’t enjoy him that much in books 1 & 2, but now that we’re on book 3, I couldn’t imagine “Adrian” sounding like anyone else. <br/><br/>I kind of wish the first three books were one book. I would have 5 starred them all (feeling guilty now that I am full entrenched in the story). From book 1 to book 3, it tells a complete story with a suitable cliff hanger for the rest of the series. <br/><br/>Highly recommend this series.<br/>
