ON THE FENCE It's not that the writing or story is bad it's just EVERYTHING zombie just about has been done & over done. Although it was a lil different it was just sort of been there bland..I did however find myself continuing to listen wondering if another plot was going to jump from the next page turn and enjoying the narrative. So I guess it's all about the reader. Sometimes it's the ones that make you think of dialogs, stories or scenarios in between the lines not printed, like putting a face your own mind conjures to that evil faceless killer....(what or who could conjure worse than that?!) I found myself straying & putting stories in the plot to fit the faceless shufflers throughout like this was just a precursor to a lonely end..

Pointless. It's observations of what zombies will do (pretty much nothing) and won't do when all the people are gone. Basically it takes 8 minutes to say what I just said. It's a very looooong 8 minutes.
