STAR RATINGS GUIDE
Great Narration, Interesting Journey
THE BIRDICT
š This is a reformed-husband-fighting-to-get-to-his-family apocalypse, but with the wifeās perspective as well. So a bit like The End of the World Running Club, but quite a different tone.
š§” The view of human life in the face of scarcity is closer to Thomas Hobbesā 'Nasty, brutish and short' viewpoint than Iād have preferred. And, while I liked Abbyās feistiness - I pictured her played by Thirteenth Doctor Jodie Whitakker - some of Shawnās internal dialogue felt aged before its time. Not a fan of the coupleās teen, Lydia. Very whiny and not too bright, although there is one fun fight scene in which she takes the lead.
š Listen to this for the understated British approach to an EMP apocalypse, the dour humour and suspense of reuniting a family.
SQUAWKING THE TALK
š§ This made for a great listen. Narrator Kevin Kemp lends a lightness to the production and comes across as relatable and likeable, I also appreciated the attention paid to the chapter listings.
š§ I would caution that this isnāt a laid back listen. One narrator reading two storylines can be difficult to follow, especially when both have similar characters and group makeup.
