February 16, 2023Due to the current, audiobook version cover (not the one depicted on Goodreads at the time of this review) and title I had high hopes for this read.
It got off to a very bad start with crass wisecracks and a lack of plausibility, but I tried to keep an open mind. The thing is, in this book, one day, POOF! Some people were just zombies. There was no disease or described cause—just ‘Wow! Some people are zombies now!’ So … not off to a good start, IMO.
It’s pure chaos … zombies rule the world and so non-zombies have to go around acting as if they’re zombies … some of them work for people which are either zombies, or non-zombies disguised as zombies, and all they can do by way of communication is grunt, yet somehow they understand one another and get everything done. Even though at least some of them are non-zombies and don’t speak zombie.
It’s … not well-written. Do not recommend.
Zero stars.
Audio:
Smooth production without quality issues, however this narrator’s voice is rather painful to listen to. He did perform well, his voice just isn’t for me, only because it physically hurt my ears. That’s my own fault for not testing out a sample first. 4-star performance.
