300 Days

De: Jacqueline Druga

Narrado por: Andrew Wehrlen

Forty years later, the pain of his personal tragedy still echoes within John Hopper. He retreats to the small town, Ripley, West Virginia, and is content being alone and in peace. He spends his evenings as an amateur podcast host, anonymously broadcasting rants about what is wrong with the world. Through a faithful listener and scientist, Jarvis, John finds out about the impending comet impact, possibly, an extinction level event.

With no beneficiary and ample time to prepare, John uses all his money to get everything he needs to survive the end of the world … alone. What John doesn’t realize is that meeting Yely, the problematic teenage girl who moved in next door, changes things.

All may not be as expected. John not only finds himself bringing people into his shelter, he learns that Ripley, the predicted safest place on earth, may very well become one of the worst places imaginable

whole new take

This was a new take on the apocalypse. It rides at your heartstrings all the way through. This was a heartwarming book

Compelling

the story is an incredible blend of of being compelling and showing the very Human Side of people and their struggles.

Great Listen!

I really enjoyed this book. I've listened to other books by this author and have been pleased every time. I loved the characters and the "feel good" vibe of the book. Most post apocalyptic books are too gory now days and I'm so over it. This book was refreshing in that aspect. The narrator did a great job.

A breath of fresh air

I cannot express how much I enjoyed this tale of redemption and healing. Beautifully done

Enjoyable listen

I enjoyed the narrator. Good characters & storytelling. Will check out other books by this author.

Better than the movie

Great book...Armageddon the movie without the spaceships. The story of survival and community was spot on. My first book from this author...looking forward to more.

great disaster story without all of the violence to common to post apocalyptic fiction

I liked the humans being humans, but not all being crazy psychopaths. Drama, but not a trip to He'll.

interesting story

This was a good book. It started out slow snd did not really pick up but it was good anyway. Surprisingly it is a stand alone book and not a part of a series. But it would be and great way to start a series.

Enjoyed the story

Really enjoyed this end time story. Good clean story. The characters were really enjoyable. Would definitely recommend.

didn't like it

I didn't like it.
There was no reason given at the beginning of the story for us to actually like the main character.
Therefore it was an arduous journey for the reader to have to trudge through the entire book (that dealt with transportation problems more than anything else). If this is supposed to be a tale about redemption and repentance, then it gives us a reason to actually care about the main character from the offset.

The second letdown was that I thought the book was supposed to be about a nuclear war, not an asteroid storm hitting the Earth.

What a letdown. I'm glad it was short because I would have had trouble enduring it if it had been longer. The only part I enjoyed was the roof collapsing in on the people. At least about 4 sentences of the story were remotely interesting.
And “300 days” of what?…whatever happened to what the title of the book was about in the first place? Great…stay inside for 300 days because it’s cold out?….what a “thrill ride”.
Man, these positive reviews seem very very suspicious.
