Dystopian/Post-Apocalyptic series.

I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher. Thank you An amazing story set mostly around A character named Lauren and her family and friends living after an EMP. The characters are believable and very likable keeping the reader rooting for their well being and their safety! The book jumps from past to present day telling you the story of how Lauren got to be the way she is. Recommend to anyone who enjoys dystopian/Post-Apocalyptic books. The narration is done very well by Kevin Pierce.I have found a new author to add to list of favourite authors list.

Not a bad book.

What did you like most about What's Left of My World?

A slightly different take on the EOTW type. (No zombies). On the whole I enjoyed it.

What did you like best about this story?

A fairly large and interesting range of people. Unlike some of this type, not over loaded with gun descriptions.

Have you listened to any of Kevin Pierce’s other performances? How does this one compare?

Quite a few. He has a good voice for the SHTF type of story

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Not really

Any additional comments?

My main gripe is that the book starts about a year after the collapse. So you have a lot of flashbacks. And there is no indication as to what the collapse is, untill much later in the book. The epiloge is just the collapse with nothing else.
But on the whole I did enjoy it. And will get the next in the series.

Great Introduction to a Post-Apocalyptic Series

The story starts a year into the collapse of society where we are introduced into the life of the protagonist Lauren, her family and friends.
The author has gradually built the story providing the back story needed with flashbacks to the past and cleverly introduced new characters and side stories/scenes which although as yet have no obvious relevance to Laurens journey I feel as the story progresses these other characters will have a part to play.
This book although fiction was thought provoking with the collapse of society how the characters work to survive the new world obstacles and the choices they make or on which side they fall whether it is the preppers trying to build a sustainable life, the takers who raid every town they come across and of course the new “government” (FEMA/DHS) who’s aim it to extinguish all freedoms by restricting peoples choices which include rounding up people and put them into camps and dispose of anyone who would question the authority.
The narration by Kevin Pierce was on point and I will gladly listen to him in the future so much so I have download the next 3 in the series.

Absorbing and entertaining

This was an excellent introduction to a new series, I was swept up in the story from the beginning, I felt drawn into the lives of the characters immediately and needed to know more, the plot had some great twists and had me looking for the next book. Kevin Pierce's narration was good. I received this book in exchange for my honest review.

Great listen to a new PA novel

Slowly but surely catching up on reviewing! :)

This was a bit of a no-brainer when I saw it in ABB, so I asked to review. Kevin Pierce does a great job with the PA type/end of world stories, and this was no different. Excellent performance, and great characters voices.

Now onto the story, there was a lot of swearing. Which in some circumstances I think it was pretty spot on. I think a lot of the time, I'd be swearing to, and the

Because the storyline is so intense, it covers so many hard to imagine situations, that a young family and woman (Lauren whom I adored btw) might find herself in, this was tactfully done, though hard to listen to. We can only hope and pray that this never happens in our world. Because these books, the preppers and the people that are ready will truly be the only ones who survive, and the rest of us, just don't have a chance. It makes you want to be a prepper, to be ready, but the what if's are endless aren't they.

I know there's some set up for more books, so maybe this isn't the end of this series. I'd defo like to see and watch as these people survive and learn more about them.

Thank you for the listen and I really hope there's more.

.Post apocalypse anarchy

Would you listen to What's Left of My World again? Why?

Yes I absolutely would! and hopefully The next book as I really want to hear more about Lauren,her,friends/family and this fabulously constructed Post-Apocalyptic world that they live in.

What did you like best about this story?

I really liked the layout of the story .I thought it was very cleverly crafted with the flash backs and then the full tale in the epilogue .It was sort of like an end of the world movie in your mind.And Lauren ah God that girl, such an amazing character. Also C. A. Rudolph doesn't seem to follow in anyone else's footsteps. I read/listen to so much, that to me, that is a tremendous advantage and wonderfully refreshing for this genre.I honestly had a day after reading this where I wanted to go build and stock a bunker,I wish I was joking but it is that intense and the situation these people find them selves in is not one I would fair well in..Brave people will walk this path . If you Like books in an end of the world scenario Then I'm confident in saying you will like this book.

Have you listened to any of Kevin Pierce’s other performances? How does this one compare?

Kevin Pierce kept me gripped and invested.I haven't listened to any of his previous work but now I think I will seek it out. He was the perfect choice for this book I believe.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I did,I didn't realize it but I did.Its gripping and we become so emotionally invested in Lauren and her troop of survivors its all but impossible to stop listening.

Any additional comments?

Way too macho/conspiracy led for me

As with many US books of this genre, there's a lot of focus on guns - which I can cope with. But the book soon moved on to militias, and wild conspiracies (US Govt deliberately cutting population via forced vaccination, chemicals in water etc.).

Also found it way too misogynistic - yes Laurel is a lead character, but she is an exception and even then only 'cos of how great her daddy was. Which is mentioned a LOT, and was slightly cringeworthy bearing in mind the book's dedication to the author's daughter.

Perhaps it would have improved later in the book - but I gave it 3 hours before these things began to grate on me too much..

Not saying it's a bad book - it's well written and well read. Just not for me.

Looking for a series from an author more like Devon C Ford, Joshua Gayou, Christopher Artinian or Sarah Lyons Fleming...

Poor

Poor regurgitation of tired, worn out plot. No originality. Do better. Don’t reference Forstchen then drop this flop on us. Neither writer, prepper nor specialist in any way
