Zoey Is Too Drunk for This Dystopia

Zoey Ashe, Book 3

De: Jason Pargin

Narrado por: Elizabeth Evans

Zoey is Too Drunk for This Dystopia is the latest installment in New York Times bestselling author Jason Pargin's thrilling Zoey Ashe sci-fi series.

Zoey Ashe wakes up every day feeling like she’s trying to steer a battleship while tied to the propeller. The twenty-three-year-old heiress to a criminal empire is navigating a futuristic world of high-tech liars and cutthroats, forced to learn the rules of a devious game she never asked to play. Now she’s facing a crisis that is both bigger and stranger than all that came before:

The gleaming new city of Tabula Ra$a is hosting its massive annual music festival, which every year precedes the equally massive annual drunken riot. This is all organized by Zoey's people, including the riot. As her advisors explain, the citizens need a little controlled chaos now and then. Zoey, however, fears the chaos will not stay controlled for long.

When a horrific crime is broadcast live on an all-seeing social network, Zoey and her team suspect a carefully stage hoax arranged by one of the Tabula Ra$a’s shadowy power players. But in a city in which lies are always served in layers, even that explanation will prove far too simple.

Entertaining and Thought Provoking

Another fun story from the Zoey universe. Jason Pargin is a great storyteller, and this one reflects on so many contemporary issues, without being preachy. I believe he’s among the great American writer/philosophers, even if his humor is a bit over the edge!

Expecting cyberpunk and got Law and Order

I absolutely loved the first 2 books, and have been hoping it would continue. I was super excited to see a 3rd book until I listened to it. Don't get me wrong it's not bad by any means, but it not as good as the first 2. There was so much tech and cool things that could have made this book so fun, however all that was set aside for a political scandal book. There's not a lot of action or edge of your seat moments in this one. It was a how are we going to outsmart a politician while trying to solve a murder mystery on the side. It's worth a listen, but I was disappointed in the direction this book went.

Best one yet

This was the best book of the series. Did not want it to end!!! Heart, drama and funny moments!! Worth it

Original and awesome yet deep but hilarious!

If you love character driven stories with some familiar undertones of the stuff we deal with every day, you’ll love this book! I loved this book so much. It manages to have an irreverent sense of humor and political commentary without being heavy handed! Jason Pargin is one of the best authors of our time!!

this is a repeat for me

love the story, always entertaining and funny! wish there was more! some insightful writing and feels like a realistic future. voice actor changes in the third book but the voice acting is really great, they make the characters really come alive!

More please

It’s hard to find books like this anymore (with brains) we need more of this

I really hope there’s an next installment 

This is a good book. A good sequel to the first two. Some people on Goodreads mention the dude humor as a drawback, or how the author writes a female character, but I was familiar with the author’s writing and expected what I got with this. I still enjoy these books, and all of Jason Pargin stuff, it’s a great escape from my life with the humor and the outrageousness of everything when times are stressful.
My only describe with the performance of this book was the accent that reader gave the character of mega boss Alonzo. He’s a black dude and it’s jarring to hear him portrayed with a kind of Brooklynish mobster type accent.

Grabbing life by the balls.

They exploded a dick! This book has it all. Would highly recommend over and over and over again. Read with hard alcohol and gird your loins for this dystopia.

Fun, heart warming, goofy and weird

Fun, heart warming, goofy and weird. Who could ask for more? I started this series in the middle jusy looking for something to tide me over till another series I'm listening to came out with a new book. Super glad I did! I've now listened to all three out currently. Looking for more.

Ps I was not prepared to feel emotional about Zoey's adventure. But the end made an old man tear up. I hope ur happy 😊!

JP Does it again!

JP has done it again! Such an amazing read from start to finish. Absolutely cannot wait for the next book. This series just keeps getting better and has some of the best characters.
