I was wowed by this book. I liked John and Kyle. The book is almost like reading a diary. Excellent action and the right amount of tension. I really liked the commentary of greed in a corporate world. I thought it really reflects on society. Tyler's letter was an awesome addition and a unique way of letting us know there would another book. ( )

Started out very well but as the book unwound it revealed itself and its ending too fast and became so predictable. ( )

ABR's full 900 Miles: A Zombie Novel audiobook review can be found at Audiobook Reviewer.

I love zombie books, But I approach each book like this download I found called “ONE but the only one.”

It’s a 100 song compilation of the song “ONE ” by U2, There are every kind of musical approach to the song. Some are good some are painful. They all have more or less the same words, but how each artist has done something with those words makes all the difference.

900 Miles is a great story about people, and the zombies are almost an after thought.

This is my favorite sort of zombie story,

The people do the sorts of things both good and bad that you can see yourself and your friends doing,They are not superheros, nor are the idiots, The story is very believable and yet there are parts where I had to rewind and listen it again.

Not to give away any of the plot. But when the story goes off the main plot line. Let’s just say I was a little more tired then I would normally be at work the next day. From not being able to just pause it, without hearing how it was going to end.

The story is at it’s heart a very simple one, Something very bad happens and the main person has to struggle to travel 900 miles to where his very pregnant wife is waiting for him. Had the very bad thing, been something like an air plane crash, or say a flood, then the story would be a fairly straight forward one of “man versus the elements”. However the very bad thing that happened was zombies.

Jamison Jones did a great job of narration, and his voice has a familiar ring to it and that might be because he was a regular in the FOX series 24.

900 miles is a long way to go with out the modern conveniences of “zombie free travel”, and you feel every single mile before the story is over.

I received this book to review from the Author. All opinions are my own and I was not compensated in any way for providing them.

Review:

To say John is having a bad day would be an understatement, trapped in one of the world's largest cities at the start of the zombie apocalypse John must make it out of the city alive and home to his pregnant wife located several hundred miles away. Unfortunately for John with worldwide communication shady at best and transportation at a standstill this proves to be an ever increasingly difficult task. Now with the zombie hordes growing by the day and all hell breaking loose will John ever see his wife again? Well sorry no spoilers here, you're just going to have to read for yourself and find out.

When I reached the last page of 900 Miles I knew I had just read something pretty special. I was glued to my Kindle reading this book, I flipped each page with hesitation not knowing what horrors or joys would befall these characters with the flick of a finger. I came to care for John and Kyle as they made their way out of the city and across the undead landscape. I truly hope this is a series because I want to see more from these two. Plus that ending just screams sequel, I'd be so disappointed if it truly ended like that leaving us readers to imagine what went down.

One thing I loved about 900 Miles was the world building. Not only does the Author provide a satisfying amount of backstory before the undead even show up, but, he also shows quite a bit concerning all the characters pasts as the story unfolds. It was really well done. Another thing I enjoyed was the violence. It was gory and primal when it needed to be but not an over the top splatter fest. This book had a heart and the Author made sure that and not the undead carnage is what readers take away from it.

In the end, I really have little to no complaints regarding 900 Miles. This book was well written with strong protagonists and an enjoyable overall story arc. Like I said above, I hope this isn't the end as I'd really love to see more from these characters. I will be rating 900 Miles by S. Jonathan Davis ★★★★★. ( )
