Let us start this review with Craig Bowles, the narrator.
He did a fine job. His pace was appropriate. His voice matched the character and the situation but not necessarily the location.
He sounded awfully British to me while the book plays off in the US. Note though. I live in Africa so I may be mistaken about the location but he did not sound very American to me.
The plot.
The plot was entertaining but predictable. There was nothing particularly new or fresh regarding the plot.
The Dialogue.
Apparently when you can die at any second you cuss a lot. I do not really blame them but it got to be a bit much.
The world building.
Now here is where the book wins points. The world building was really well done. The desolation, desperation etc really came to life with a pop.
So overall
3*
Narration
3.5*
Story
3*
Still. Not at all a bad story to listen to.
It is simply not earth shattering in it’s genre.
