Story
For Meredith Gale, ending her life seems like her only choice, and that choice is the reason she’s dangling by her fingertips from a bridge high above the freezing water of the San Francisco Bay. But someone or some thing has other plans for Meredith, and as her fingers slip from the cold steel of the bridge, a disembodied voice asks her a simple question: “Candidate 13: Do you wish to be saved?” Realizing her mistake too late, Meredith screams “Yes!” and instantly finds herself transported to a mysterious island, alongside hundreds of other Candidates like her.

Story
Bill Steele is in the trenches, trying to survive in the competitive world of luxury vacation resorts on the island of Kauai. Then a dark shadow falls over the island. It’s not a lunar eclipse, because Bill can clearly see the crescent moon shimmering on the water. This is something else. Moments later, the meteors begin to fall. One of them lands in the water just beyond the resort. On the news, the anchorman is fleeing from his hillside vantage point with his cameraman in hot pursuit. Their muffled screams are the last thing anyone hears before the signal is lost....

It starts with the dogs. They won’t stop barking. And then the earth shrugs - 8.9 on the Richter scale. It’s the world’s biggest earthquake since Lisbon in 1755, and it doesn’t hit California or Japan or Mexico, but New Madrid, Missouri, a sleepy town on the Mississippi River. Seismologists had predicted the scope of the disaster - but no one listened. For hundreds of miles around, dams burst, engulfing entire counties in tidal waves of mud and debris. Within minutes, there is nothing but chaos and ruin from St. Louis to Vicksburg, from Kansas City to Louisville.

Refreshing post-apocalyptic book
Although this book doesn't have any zombies or crazed psychos like most post-apocalyptic books, it was really interesting and to be honest, it was really hard for me to put it down to work on school work. I don't want to spoil it, but the book was a nice breath of fresh air after reading so many zombie or heavy duty apocalyptic books. I love how the main character is optimistic, idealistic, hard working, and resilient. I will agree that maybe at the beginning, the story focused alittle too much on the team, but I enjoyed learning more about all the characters. I'm looking forward to the next book (if there is one?!!?!?! i really hope so....)!

Back in time or FlashForward
I found this book to be very enjoyable. It is smart, witty and has just enough edge to keep you on your seat wondering what will come next. The characters are likeable and I must say are very diverse and represent many different groups of people. That might be my number one take away from this book. I am blind myself as is one of the characters and I must say it was very well written and well performed. There are some twists and turns that will leave you guessing in this one but I enjoyed them all. The landscapes are well developed and leave just enough mystery to evoke your imagination. The performance was very well done and makes use of several different voices, accents and tones throughout the entire story. It is very easy to tell who is speaking as there are several different characters each with their own unique voice. The performer also does great male voices as she is female. I like the closure that the listener receives at the end of this book however, does leave room for optimism for a second book in the series with some unanswered questions. I received a free copy of this audiobook from the author in exchange for an honest review. This in no way affected my opinion of this work.

Young adult novel, low on action or original ideas. Teenage drama
Maybe this series smartens up later, but this book was difficult to finish.
The characters are pie in the sky, anti-gun idealists set in a Wayward Pines sort of idea.
Honestly the Wayward Pines idea was why I bought this book. But this story wasted the opportunity and explored a cardboard love story. It was a bad setup. Too bad, too, because it could have been fun and I won’t buy the next book.
I feel like I just read a missed opportunity. The author can write, but took 8 hours and essentially whiffed with teenage girl emotional drama.

Wake me after the apocalypse
Enjoyed the story and the narration.
I would have enjoyed a bit more details on how the team prepared, but that did not detract from the story. The lack of swearing and violence was a nice change from the majority of apocalypse stories and I wouldn’t hesitate to suggest it to my preteen son.

Loved it!
Wake Me After the Apocalypse is one of those books that makes me mad when real life interrupts my book! I did not want to out this one down! This is my second series by Jordan Rivet. I listened to her Seabound Chronicles first and highly recommend it. This is an entirely different apocalypse scenario, and just as good! In this series, humanity is threatened by a huge comet, much larger then the one that wiped out the dinosaurs. Joanna Murphy is one of the lucky ones picked to try to survive in a 200 year cryosleep in an underground bunker. I can't wait to see how this series plays out! Great narration by Kate Marcin! I loved all of her character voices!

Seems as if story was written by a youth,
I thought the story concept was interesting, but the writing style was a bit juvenile to me. The characters behaved in ways I didn’t think were realistic. Many of the situations didn’t track well in my mind.

Days of our lives
It’s a love story drama that just happens to take place during the apocalypse. It focuses more on the social drama then the act of survival. It’s a decent listen, just not my cup of tea.

Missing something
I liked the main character but had a hard time with the other brats! Couldn’t relate to most of the characters. The story was ok but missing something I felt. And somewhat anticlimactic at the end a little too much of the setup for a sequel. It did keep my interest but didn’t offer much satisfaction at the end.
