Mesmerizing!

Revisado: 10-17-19

this is now one of my favorite books! I'm going to have to buy hard copy. The story is engrossing and exciting and has many turning points. No loose ends yout can't live without. Great story telling!

If I have to hear the word "crescendo" one more ti

Revisado: 10-04-18

If I have to hear the word "crescendo" one more time... The stories must have been written by kids. the second books author had no idea what a thesaurus was for.
The reader of the first book doesn't understand the cadence of the English language. Giving emphasis where none belongs and pausing as though it is the end of the sentience and then the sentence picks up again in the middle. It was very distracting. I listened because it was a cheap 40 hours of mediocre entertainment. I thought about returning this book multiple times, however I am stubborn and have a hard time letting ANY story go without getting to the end.
I found nothing really redeeming or useful in these books.
With a little research, MAYBE they could have at least made the scenarios in this book more realistic. Medical issues were just one thing that made me think WTF, really, they survived that?
The constant interpersonal drama of the first book was SOOOO obnoxious and unnecessary.
Anyway, I cannot recommend these books.

Keeps you listening

Would you listen to Blood Song again? Why?

Maybe, I have so many new books to listen too, but if those run out, I would reach for this again.

What three words best describe Steven Brand’s performance?

I can't think of 3 words without sounding harsh. I enjoyed Brand's voice well enough, and his reading cadence, but he doesn't do different voices, so at times I found it difficult to follow who was talking. Everyone once in a while he threw in a different accent, but that was, I think, the only other accent he could do.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Laughed at a few parts. :) But its hard to make me laugh out loud at a book.

Any additional comments?

I really enjoyed the writing in this one. It was descriptive enough, and the pace was lovely. I am looking forward to the next two books.

Most Well Written "Zombie" Book Ever

Revisado: 10-07-16

What did you like best about this story?

Melanie's wonder at the world. Also this story is amazing well written and engaging. I love this writing style that has such an excellent and expressive use of metaphor and discription so that you can really feel like you are in it.

What about Finty Williams’s performance did you like?

Just the right amount of emotion and inflection. Her reading NEVER distracted from the story, but only added to it.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The moment in the cell when whe Mrs. Justenew releases Melanie. Also, when Melanie sees the other kids and discribes how that felt to her.

Any additional comments?

I loved the book. It has become easily one of my favorites.

get tired of reading the same thing

Revisado: 10-07-16

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

No, because it takes to many books to tell the story of one book.

Have you listened to any of Bronson Pinchot’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Bronson Pinchot is an excellent reader.

Could you see Extinction Age being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

I could see a movie out of these books provided they combine them all into one movie. Not enough story to carry more than 2-3 hours viewing.

Any additional comments?

I enjoyed the first couple of books, but by the third one the storyline was just too repetitive and getting more outlandish with their rescues and escapes from the inescapable. I have 2 books left and I have no desire to read them. Especially now that I found out there is yet another one coming. Not worth wasting my money. I wish these writers and publishers would put out more entertaining short series, instead of trying to milk every penny out of us with these insanely long and much less fulfilling book series.

great book with believable characters and story line. One of the first Prepper books. current prepper writers can learn a thing or two from this book.

Entertaining read!

Revisado: 08-13-15

Would you listen to 14 again? Why?

Maybe... but I have alot of things to get through.

Who was your favorite character and why?

I don't think I can choose! I love just about all the characters, but Veek and Nate are probably best with Zeela taking a close second. I love all Zeela's pop culture references. She fits my personality (just not the exhibitionism).

What about Ray Porter’s performance did you like?

He did a great job with the voices. it is so hard for a man to portray the female voices but he did it. And he had enough emotion and inflection in the right places.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Without giving to much away... someone dies and you can feel the shock of the characters.

Any additional comments?

This was a really entertaining read that I purchased on a whim. The mystery isn't anything you might think.
