Better than expected

"This audiobook was provided by the author/narrator/publisher free of charge in exchange for an unbiased review via AudiobookBlast dot com."
This book is about a possible future world. It does have a zombie type theme to it but doesn’t call the monsters zombies. The story is more about social classes and leadership. Over all it was a very good book but there were more than a few times I was wondering what the heck is going on and if I missed something. It will be interesting to see where the second book takes us. I would recommend this book if you like adventure stories

Interesting idea, but...

If you could sum up Robinson Crusoe 2244 in three words, what would they be?

Quite interesting idea at the beginning and at fist glance, but the way how the plot developed, I did not like..it was too unrealistic- it reminded me some Hollywood action blockbuster... I think that I will not buy the second sequel..

A grand adventure

Would you listen to Robinson Crusoe 2244 again? Why?

I would happily give this book another listen. The story is great fun in a classic adventure kind of way, and the narrator does a great job of capturing and bringing to life the author's story and characters.

What other book might you compare Robinson Crusoe 2244 to and why?

For any one who enjoyed such classic stories as The Swiss Family Robinson, or The Count of Monte Cristo this is a well told modern story told in the same vein, but it also has strong elements of The Hunger Games and The Maze Runner.

What does Malk Williams bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Williams has a delivers a great sense of excitement to his story that enhances the author's prose in such a way that I might not have interpreted in my head, also he does a very nice job of bringing the characters to life. That only adds to the listening enjoyment.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I did actually miss my train to work because I was stuck in my car waiting to finish a particular chapter.

Any additional comments?

This is a fun adventure story in a grand old tradition of story tell, but with a nice modern touch that will appeal to readers from middle school up. Nice job on everyone's part.

Any additional comments?

One of the thing about this audio book is that it’is loaded with mch action. Once the plot startes it does not stop with lot of twists and turns. This book does a good job of layering in things early and having them pay off at the end.

What did you like best about this story?

very original story

What about Malk Williams’s performance did you like?

his voice is enjoyable and he does a good job conveying emotion

Slow starter, but worth hanging in there.

I actually skipped ahead about a quarter of the book, but from that point on, it was a fast paced adventure.

Slow at times

A well written distopian story with just a hint of futuristic sci-fi tech
My only complaint is that the story seemed to drag at times. The narration was excellent (not R.C. Bray quality, but very good).
