Good books but the narrato takes a little getting

When I first started listening to these books, the narrator really grated on me. However, a the books flowed on, I got used to his style and started enjoying his reading. This omnibus is a great lead into what is hopefully a great series. Very reminiscent of The Stand, by Stephen King.

A regretful Christmas holiday read.

Every character was a smart arse, unlikeable and rather two dimensional. Even the "heroes" were arseholes.

Character dialogue was often cringeworthy, inappropriate for the situation and implausible.

A real shame because the central story has potential. Needs a thorough rewrite to polish the story.

I really couldn't come to like the narrator's style. It complimented the book in that it was was often cringeworthy, inappropriate for the situation and implausible! He needs to vary his style and try different voices for the characters... no one talks the way he portrays many of the characters.

I got a bit into Book 3 before I returned it for a full credit.

Wasn't sure at first

To begin with I didn't really like the narrator's style, I found his rhythm a bit off putting but it didn't take long to get used to. He did a decent job of differentiating between characters too.
I like really long stories and this was a pretty easy listen. I will admit I didn't even read the synopsis before I started listening and at first thought it would be a similar story to The Stand, and it was, but with enough differences to keep it interesting. Some of the characters were not believable, and story lines of course far fetched, but if you want bang for your buck this is a not a bad book.

Not bad...

A pretty good read. Some inconsistencies in the story that are hard to ignore. Also the story pace plods along from time to time.

I love this series.

One might think that 42 hours could be a bit much but no. I didn't want it to end. I love post apocalyptic fiction and this is one of my favorite. I have to get the next one straight away. I'm hooked. Thanks for all the hard work!
