About this listen

A post-apocalyptic fiction by N.C. Reed.

Billy Todd has always been different. Most people called him odd, and those were the nice people. Though he was born with a learning disability, Billy's parents never allowed him to consider himself disabled. Raised to be self-sufficient, Billy might not be as smart as some, but he was a lot smarter than people realized.

When the entire world is devastated by a plague that kills over 95 percent of the population, Billy is not helpless. Believing he may be the only survivor in his town, he manages to place himself in a good position to survive alone in a new world.

I don’t often write reviews, normally just give a star rating.
With this book however I felt I had to say something.
It was just stunning!!
I was a bit skeptical at first but thought I would give it a go. Th book had me engrossed from start to finish and I couldn’t wait to get back to it.
Billy Todd is a wonderful character and would love to meet him for real.😉.
I am in the UK and after this book, I would love to visit Tennessee (preferably not after a plague though).
Another thing which deserves complimenting is the total lack of vulgarity. So refreshing in this day and age when swearing, blasphemy and explicit content seems to be the norm.
Huge congratulations to you Mr Reed and brilliantly performed by Christopher Lane.
I will definitely be checking out your other books.
Kindest regards to you both.
Get this book, you won’t regret it.

Wonderful!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💥

A fine and comfortable post-apocalyptic read, it was a lengthy but engaging affair. Great narrator too.
By comfortable i mean it's a book where while there's a lot of tension, everything works out, always. Whether by sheer luck, fate, deus ex machina, it's a bit of a "cosy dystopian" in that regard.
You'll enjoy it if you like to read about sensible people forming and running a healthy community.
The ending was abrupt and unsatisfying, the big baddies that were built up throughout got sorted in a quick bit of action.
I do agree with a lot of reviews about repetitiveness and enforced gender roles, but it did not tarnish my enjoyment, only caused occasional irritation.

(One thing i wondered about though was thy hypocrisy of our group, foraging and emptying every shop and home while looking down at other groups doing the same and feeling sorry for folks who had to go without because there was nothing left around. Go figure. )

cosy-ish dystopian

I loved this book and the narrator is excellent he portraits the story wonderfully. I hope there will be a sequel

one of the best post apocalyptic books

This was a fantastically entertaining read, absolutely gripping, action packed with exciting plot twists and great characters. The narration was really enjoyable, I was so disappointed when I reached the end. I received this book in exchange for my honest review.

Fantastic

At the very beginning I was wary of the narrator but once I got over myself, I was totally entranced by the depth of this story. Being quite dyslexic myself I know at least some of what Billy has gone thru in the "Normal world" and am not surprised that he came into his own in a post apocalyptic world. We tend to think quite differently to others and this sort of problem solving and preparation are a daily activity for us and if you have the gumption very adaptable to this sort of scenario. I have read/listened to hundreds of dystopian stories over the years and this is one of the best so far.

Not sure at first, then totally hooked!

A highly enjoyable listen indeed, and I fully recommend it. The narrator is perfect, and will look out for more of his readings. Superb!

Mostly good. Some pointless chapters that didn’t really add much.

Would like a sequel asap

I enjoy post apocalyptic books but they are often ruined by endless battles or gun fights and don't recognise how people would actually try to survive but this book was so realistic I was enthralled from start to finish.
There were fights but they were far more realistic and didn't take up chapter after chapter, fantastic book truly was.
