Publisher's Summary
Some flames burn too brightly to be extinguished.
This exceptional new thriller from Joe Hill is essential reading for 2016 and perfect for fans of Justin Cronin's The Passage.
In a world overtaken by a deadly and dramatic new virus, Harper is determined to live long enough to deliver her baby. But when all it takes is a spark to start a deadly blaze, she's going to need some help from the mysterious fireman.

Interesting idea but way too long
This would be an riveting read if it was half as long.
The premise is interesting, and it has a strong start and wraps up well.
There's a very long section of events in the middle that just drags on and on though. The female lead character is a tad annoying and this gets more grating as the book goes on.
It’s quite similar to Stephen King’s writing. Overall it’s a decent post-apocalyptic story.

Nowhere near as dark as his father
Not a bad story but lacked some extra layer that King has, which I'm used to reading.
A little bit too... light. Not bad, but just didn't pull me in and give me the sense of dread and discomfort I crave.

Brilliant
I finished this book in a bit less than a week. I couldn't stop listening and spent many late nights in bed immersed in Joe Hills world. The Fireman captivated my imagination and ripped my heart out more than once. I think I'll have to wait a few years until I'm able to read it again, mainly because the ending broke my heart.
Another absolutely breathtaking book by Mr Hill, it's been a while since I was touched this way by a book.

Good performance by narrator, mediocore storyline
The narrator performed this story very well, aside from a slightly wandering English accent for one of the protagonists. The story line left a fair bit to be desired, reasonably predictable narrative, characters lacking depth. Antagonists were illogically evil, their motivations and reactions didn't make sense or were taken far past the point of belief. Not bad but not good, and pretty disappointing given the hype around the book.

not bad.
I'm beginning to love the dystopian genre.
I had a listen to Justin Cronin's epic 'The Passage' trilogy, and was expecting something similar. The Fireman was good, but not as good.

Fantastic!
Joe Hill has done it again! What a fantastic story, it was suspenseful but had just the right amounts of humour, sadness, triumph and joy. Kate Mulgrew was an awesome narrator as always. If you haven't yet had the pleasure of Joe Hill then give this one a go, highly recommended.

I loved it.
Thankyou again Joe Hill and Kate Mulgrew for this wonderful accompaniment to my 6h drives to family for Christmas and days crocheting gift blankets. I laughed, I cried, i loved your dark tower and NOS4R2 Easter eggs.
