STAR RATINGS GUIDE
Classic pandemic flick Outbreak meets TV’s Fear the Walking Dead.
THE BIRDICT
🧡 I highly recommend this for fans of the zombie genre. It has the slick feel of a zombie TV series, with multiple storylines and a large cast of characters. Everything moves at an exciting, break-neck speed, with tensions and stakes always high. One minute, it’s focused on a journalist in a Washington DC TV studio, the next it smash cuts to a medic in a refugee camp in Cairo.
💚 I liked the incorporation of various professional perspectives. There are soldiers, medics, journalists and government agents, each coming at things from their own specialist angles.
💜 It’s not deep or meaningful, the characters are not complex, but it is entertaining, Plus, if you enjoy it, it’s the first of a series that I thoroughly enjoyed.
SQUAWKING THE TALK
🎧 This is one that’ll keep you on your toes. It calls for a certain level of concentration if you want to keep track of what’s going on.
🎧 Staggeringly good performance by Oliver Wyman, who is the sole narrator in a story with so many voices. Somehow, he imbues every single one with distinct characteristics. What’s more, despite his delightfully deep voice, he takes on female roles as seamlessly as the male.
🎧 Wyman is backed by some serious production chops. There’s a whole team behind this and I could tell. It came through in the flawless transitions between voices and scenes. It’s even evident in the chapter listings, which provide a decent map of the book.
