Friggin Zombies

By: N.C. Reed

Narrated by: Christopher Lane

This is ridiculous. I mean seriously. I work for years, since I was in high school for crap’s sake, to be prepared for any emergency, anytime. I study, I train, I keep up with the news. I look for new products, I scour the web for suggestions about things I should always have on hand. I took training courses. First aid, advanced life saving, volunteered for my local fire department and trained to fight fire, extricate people from crushed cars, whatever the situation called for. I took private, and expensive, training programs for almost every kind of scenario or event I could imagine, read about, or hear a rumor of. Plague? Got it. Nuclear, Biological or Chemical attack, by terrorists or in war, either one? Got that too. Massive earthquake like that one in Japan that tore up the nuclear plant? Ready for it. Horrendous hurricane that levels everything in its path? Even though I lived hundreds of miles inland, still prepared for it. Could work for tornado outbreaks too after all, right?

After all that time, sweat, money and even a little blood, what do I get? What great, earth changing event happens? Zombies. The friggin’ Zombie Apocalypse.

Romance novel, with a few zombies thrown in

First off, the narrator is what got me into this book. He reminds me of Mike Talbot (IYKYK). But that’s where the similarities end.

This grown man spent most of the book talking about his love and infatuation for his doctor, turned girlfriend. There were mention of zombies here and there, but no REAL zombie action. This is basically a book about how the guy gets the girl, when the zombie apocalypse started. That’s it. That’s all.

Whoa

I love the idea of a ZA story. This one was great coming from the view of the start until the "end". I really hope there is another book to follow.

I love a good sense of humor

who doesn't like a good Ole boy that's a secret geek that gets his dreams to come true with a good laugh along the way.

Wish there was more

Hope this becomes a series and or he makes a new zombie series closer to fire from the sky! That would be perfect!!

Best beginning of the zombie apocalypse book

I love zombie stories that start in the beginning, such as an infection that made people sick and turned them into zombies. This book has all of that and how people planned to survive the zombie apocalypse. This is one of the best zombie apocalypse books I’ve read this year. I hope he does more to the story.

love this apocalypse!

N.C. Reed does it again. A fun listen. Would be interested in a sequel.

Surprisingly good

I didn’t have high expectations thanks to the low quality of most zombie genre offerings in recent years. I was pleasantly surprised by how enjoyable this story was. I’m looking forward hopefully that there might be a book 2

Fun

i love these slow burn style zombie apocalypse books. I'm a fan of listening to society fall apart slowly and realistically as opposed to overnight. The characters are likeable and act as rational people would in a world ending event. I'm so glad I stumbled across this gem. Can't wait for the next installment.

Gripping and humorous

I enjoyed the story- a lot of time was spent developing the wonderful characters, but the end was unsatisfying. It should have kept going.

Friggin Zombies

Let me start off with "Odd Billy Todd" is one of my all time favorite books. (Listened to it multiple times) So when I saw this by N.C. Reed, I immediately purchased it, stopped what I was currently listening to, and started this. I love zombie apocalypse stories that detail the early days. I enjoyed the characters. I laughed over the one liners and sarcastic humor. My only complaint is the book ended after only 6 1/2 hours without a 2nd book in the series. Please continue this story line! I am re-listening to it now as I write this review.
