Dawn of the Dead

De: George A. Romero, Susanna Sparrow

Narrado por: Jonathan Davis

George A. Romero terrified a generation with his iconic horror film and with this cult-classic novel. Immerse yourself in this unparalleled vision from the revered master of the zombie apocalypse...and be terrified all over again.

Zombies have overpowered the living and ravaged the world. Society has collapsed as humans race to save themselves. No one knows how far the creatures have spread or how to stop them. In downtown Philadelphia four people escape the chaos and find shelter in a vacated shopping mall. But as their greed spirals and the undead close in, their haven for waiting out the end of the world becomes the last battleground for survival. And there is nowhere left to hide.

Good audiobook I remember the movie over 30 years ago. It’s a little different but still very good!

An oldie but a goodie

Narrator was awesome and although I've read this book multiple times, it's still so entertaining.

Fran gets a puppy!

stayed true to the movie for the most part. if I didn't know the movie I would have dug the story anyway

The utmost classic

I've seen the film, getting the story told is just amazing! With small changes, it remains fresh and invigorating. Must listen for Romero acolytes.

Much to be expected

If you could sum up Dawn of the Dead in three words, what would they be?

This is Dawn of the Dead, it is a classic in the genre and that is what this is.

Any additional comments?

Although like other reviewers with whom I agree this is a well trodden story and is much the same as the movie and has little different, yet I do disagree with some analysis. This is a classic and as far as I am concerned in the same way a remake of a movie can add or remove value this is of course the same. You take something from each variation purely because of the performances and that does not stop a fan from listening. Overall may not be the best but well, its Zombies and it is a classic.

Great things not told in Movie adaption.

I loved reading the book because it gives a background to the characters. The movie adaption doesn't tell you much because it jumps straight into the story without any context. The book gives you some idea about the characters .

George Romero is the father of zombies

I love this book I listen to it quite often if you want to know anything about how writing zombies should be done this is the book for you

Stone Cold Classic

The narration is masterful. The writing is succinct, stripped down to essential, and conveys the story with extreme power. Works quite well in tandem with watching the original film, which is evergreen...

I love George A Romero’s zombie trilogy!

Awesome book, just like the movie! I just wish that it was longer. Other than that it’s a great book, and it’s also read very well.

Great

Great story, Great author. It is absolutely worth the purchase and read. It has adventure, humor, drama, all that you want in a book. You wont be disappointed.
