The Man Who Watched the World End

The Great De-evolution, Book 1

By: Chris Dietzel

Narrated by: Ray Chase

The end of man was not signaled by marauding gangs or explosions but with silence. People simply grew older knowing a younger generation would not be there to replace them. The final two residents in the neighborhood of Camelot, an old man and his invalid brother, are trapped in their house by forests full of cats and dogs battling with the bears and wolves to eat anything they can find. As the man struggles to survive, he recounts all the ways society changed as the human population continued to shrink.

The Man Who Watched the World End is the haunting account of a man who has witnessed the world fade away. It is also a story about the power of family.

My first time

I had never heard a story like this before, I was hooked. The narrator has a voice that I felt I could listen to as if he weee my neighbor. I can’t wait for more!!

Diary of an old man

This story Had great potential but has no closure at all. There are a lot of repeated thought sequences.

Very interesting but what's the point.

This is a great idea, well written and the performance was great. But it is droning on and on and I can only listen to someones self deception for so long. The daily account of an old man with no hope is only interesting for a limited amount of time. This would of been a fine short story but hours and hours of the enevitable end got tedious. Maybe there was an exciting ending but I couldn't get there.

Interesting, also slightly depressing

I do not typically like books that are on the depressing side, but I actually liked this one. The major gripe I have is the audiobook voice performance was inconsistent. I don't know if that was on purpose, I can't see why it would be, it was a bit off-putting.

it's okay

I don't know what I was expecting after listening to "The Last Teacher". that was an amazing book. This book however is very fuzzy, no real climax or goal. Overall I wouldn't read it again.
