Best Fiction I've heard in ages.

Hardly ever bother with fiction any more. I am very glad I made an exception for this. it's just a great story, that doesn't get bogged down, but still really delivers.

So much potential

Very well written however some frustrating elements of the story line made some of the characters decision making somewhat questionable.

Great introduction and premise for the storyline and protagonists introduction, just some of the story line left me wanting more. Great performance by the narrator. Overall, quite enjoyable.

Simply Amazing.

This same review has been posted on the first 5 books of this series of 6 since all were listened to in a short span of time.

I'm not going to write a full review for this title/s as I honestly feel I won't be able to do it justice. To write a lacking review for this series that could potentially show it in a poor perspective is worse than not writing one at all.

The story is amazing, the characters and their development is amazing and the narration, Jesus Christ. Christian Rummel absolutely crushed it.

I listened to the first 5 books one after another in a very short span of time. I now unfortunately have a wait ahead of me for the final book (book 6) which is due out towards the second half of this year. I will be buying this day one. On top of that, I'll be buying the set in physical copy's as well as soon as the last book is released.

It's that good.

Do yourself a favor and get these books as soon as possible. You won't regret it.

Don't start, it will get you hooked.

What made the experience of listening to The Remaining the most enjoyable?

The fast storyline plot. Lee is always in a new situation, and mostly bad ones, but he manages to come out in one piece. Near death in many battles, and all the surrounding cast around him has unique characters that made sense. The baddies, you get it, has all the right traits that made you hate them, and somehow that made the murders by Lee more understandable. It's kill or be killed. Christian Rummels is AMAZING by the way. He can narrate in a comfortable pace, voice as male and female, and managed to impersonate 2 different people talking with their own unique way of speech and tone. Just AMAZING.

What other book might you compare The Remaining to, and why?

I've started on the Mountain Man. And frankly speaking, deciding to stop soon.

Which scene did you most enjoy?

I would say the whole book,

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Totally. If I have the time. But I normally only listen when I'm driving. The scenes are not hard to remember as Christian narration can quickly get you back into the storyline in no time.

Any additional comments?

None.

Great first book

Great take on the Zombie Apocalypse.
Interesting characters. A bit slow to pick up but eventually went all out swinging.

Very unlikeable soft main character

I love the genre of zombie post apocalyptic books.. I was excited to listen to this book but have has to stop 6 chapters in.. The main character Lee is a real doosh, he's supposed to be a crack soldier especially trained for this exact situation.. The end of the world.. He bumbles around.. Seemingly clueless fires few shots collecting people that need help.
I wish I could return this book but I can't and it makes me annoyed because this book is crap.

Generally bad with ok sections

Much better zombie apocalypse books available. Very predictable. Stereo type characters. Repeated dialogue. Performance ok.
