Slow Burn Box Set
I listened to the audiobook, which at one audible credit for 50+ hours of well read content is a good deal, but the story is frustrating. The explanation of why the zombies exist, and (without giving too much away) the resulting differences in types of zombies was original and I appreciated how it made sense. The voice actor and recording is extremely good, but the main character is annoying. He acts childish in a way that makes me think this book was written for angsty teenagers. The repetition of descriptions of violence is unnecessary and becomes uninteresting. The focus on things like an old car and lauding over how cool it is again feels like it's aimed at a teenage audience. The story follows a repetitive pattern of getting a new weapon or a new means of transportation, and playing that out until the next plot device is found. All in all, this isn't a great story I would recommend going out of your way to listen to, but if you want a lot of hours of content for a single audible credit, it's worth getting.
