About this listen
The best-selling sci-fi thriller that blends healthy living and lots of dying
Ben Stone is terrified. He's terrified because he weighs 601 pounds and needs his right leg amputating. He's terrified because a crane will shortly lift him from his fourth-floor flat and lower him 44 feet to an ambulance waiting below. He's terrified because he hasn't been outside in nine years, and he doesn't know who will look after his beautiful dog.
He needn't worry, though, because the world is about to end.

Great plot,
I finished this in about two days - very easy to read/listen to. Loved the narrators performance. The writing was good, story was interesting throughout the book that I was always eager to get to the next chapter. Immediately downloaded the next book in the series.
Loved the main character, Ben Stone, and his dog Brown. What a lovely duo. There were some visceral moments that made me squeam while listening but the book has a lot of light-hearted moments and humour in what otherwise is a dystopian hellscape.

My 600 pound life meets end of the world horror
Flashbacks give an insight into the story of Ben Stone, a 270 kg shut-in who finds himself trapped and almost alone at the demise of the world. His weight is a central theme of the book, and it is handled with sympathy and insight. The narration is spot on and not once did it bring me out of the character - and there was one part that left me physically recoiling. The only disappointment is that the final few chapters introduce an unnecessary number of new twists and turns that detracts thematically and that the story didn’t need. I’ll definitely listen to the sequel.
