What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
I would have kept listening if I could of stopped rolling my eyes and the story wasn’t like a script for a really bad afternoon Lifetime Channel Movie. I was driving and just needed something to listen to, it was so bad I stopped and downloaded another book. Just a really dumb story with so many flaws, not just technical flaws, I cant even begin to list them all; here’s a couple: Drunk rapists (DRIVING) to, and kicking in the doors of, an apartment 2 1/2 minutes after the power went out? All electronics out, except for all the vehicles people were DRIVING? Neighbors stealing from neighbors 3 1/2 minutes after the power went out before DRIVING away? Dumb “country folk” convinced the country was attacked by the Chinese or Russians 4 1/2 minutes after the power went out? The same “stupid” country folk abducting and abusing people 5 1/2 minutes after the power went out, then being outsmarted by stupid people and the stupid people who were abused feeling sorry for the other stupid people because someone needed something? (I pulled over at this point to find another story). The author should have listened to one EMP based story before writing this. I’ve listened to Kevin Pierce before. I do not get his style of narration, but when he has a good story to work with I can listen. I’m not sure, but if my review up to this point hasn’t laid it out, this was not a good story.
