iffy storyline in this one

first of all, i have enjoyed books 1-15 despite a lot of harrowing detail. good story mostly well executed.
however despite the strong female characters as an older reader i sometimes wonder about some views discussed.
this was the case when one character tried to help a woman give birth.
first of all MOST BIRTHS GO WELL EVEN WITHOUT HELP. i fear for younger female readers sometimes. im amazed that anyone is brave enough to have kids the way birth is over dramatised every single time it comes up.
secondly- the life of the mother is always the priority at least in the west- unless the woman says otherwise. sorry but, good grief. we are not talking cattle here. I doubt even Roy nor Howie would be that daft.
am taking a break from these books now.
theres enough misogyny in the world, i dont find it entertaining.

Another great instalment

This is a zombie apocalypse series. There I’ve said it.

Having got that out of the way I struggle to understand how some reviewers think this is plagiarism. Not sure how you copyright zombies.

I adore how this series has evolved and how it focuses on the characters as they evolve. To me as a reader I enjoy the 5 minutes of banter about very little as that in itself is thoroughly entertaining.

If you haven’t started already the extracted series is a must.

Mr Haywood

Keep writing, in me you have a fan

Awesome

As always AMAZING

I'm on my second re-listen of these books, Haywood is a genius writer.
You laugh and cry, get angry at people, get disappointed in people, it's also great that it is pretty much correct by place,so in some cases you can go and walk the roads the battles were had in.
Just brilliant!

blowers

once again brilliantly written. hookies comments to blowers,had me laughing. I was so sad when blowers put his life on the line. I fumed with fury when Maddox acted like a twat,but hoped that he would make the right choice when it mattered. The humming and singing in the Saxon. Safe sex conversation with Dave ,and so much more. These people have become my friends,I feel as if I know them and sometimes I'm there with them. Great narration too. Dont know what I will do when it's all over!

fantabulous

5* all the way totally obsessed can't leave a huge review as I need to go listen now x

Another brilliant piece

Yet again R R Haywood has churned out another gripping instalment. I found it difficult at first to get used to the change in narrators but it didn’t last long and I’m so glad I stuck with it!

Billiant again

what can I say, a mixture of sadness, happiness, Spontaneous laughing, Hopefulness, Bravery, and just d*** right excellent. Thank you

Emotional

The best books make you think or laugh or cry.
For me, Mr Haywood achieved all these in this book.
I look forward to more from him.
Thank you.

Starting to get a little repetitive.....

Even when characters die, you can kinda guess that something miraculous will save the day. Not that I'd want to lose anyone (we're all good buddies now), but still, there's a predictable pattern developing, and lots of money being paid for old rope.

Dave's voice has improved at last, so, thanks for listening to your audience! By the way, Autistic people are not cold or emotionless. Other people being unable to read our feelings is essentially no different from us struggling with neurotypicals. Communication is a 2 way street! ;-)

amazing.

Wow. From start to finish it had me shocked and hooked. I'm trying to peice together the story and who has what role etc. and where does such n such fit in..... I love all the characters they feel so real to me, I absolutely love Joe's narration of the story his art at bringing the characters alive is amazing . I absolutely cannot wait to start the next book I need to know what happens next.
