Not enough monsters for me

The beginning of story put me in the mindframe of the silo book series. So I found it pretty enjoyable. I was expecting more monster than was actually portrayed in this book. I didn’t realize it was a four book series, so there will probably have more of them later on down The line. This is more of a survival/finding out where the virus came from story than the story of the monsters themselves, which is what I was hoping for.

Slow Start But picks up

Narration is good. Story is slightly predictable and ending leaves you hanging. I will probably listen to book 2 if it doesn't take long to become available.

Enjoyable, but short.

I enjoyed the book. It was better than I expected. I just wish it was longer. Before I continue to listen I'm just going to wait until the books are on sale. I'd rather not waste money on books that are so short. Other than that I liked it.

Seemed like youth fiction

The concept was good but it seemed like it was young adult fiction. Author used the word "surprisingly" and similar adverbs a lot which got a little old. A solid four stars.

interesting plot

not the best but good driving noise. little vague on back story, hopefully future books close loopholes
