About this listen
Steve wakes up one morning after a horrible couple of weeks in which he's lost his girlfriend, his job, his savings, and the majority of his self-respect. Dragging himself out of bed, he sleepily wanders over to the window with a warm bottled water and a handful of Advil. Looking out of his apartment window, he sees people running around crazily and a bunch of burning shrubbery. He decides to go back to sleep and see if it all goes away. When he wakes up the next time, it turns out the view from his fourth floor apartment wasn't a nightmare. Armed with a blunt samurai sword and some stolen steak knives, he ventures out into the fray.
These aren't your standard zombies, but Steve isn't your standard zombie fighter, either. Join him in book one as he heads out to check on his parents and tries to survive in a world that's gone crazy....

Narration is by Nicholas Cain who admirably takes on the persona of Steve the diarist. His voice is pleasant to the ear, his timing and speech pattern melodius, his modulation good. A nice performance for one pursued by super strength cannibals! I did enjoy this book though probably not enough to continue the series. My thanks to the rights holder of It All Started, Zournal I, who, at my request freely gifted me with a complimentary copy via Audiobook Boom. Disconcerting and bloody, readers who enjoy the zombie experience will surely love this.
But, dreadful cover art.

The book is basically Steve stumbling his way through one scenario to the next. It's a different take on a zombie story and is a bit like watching a lovable puppy learning how to mature before becoming a vicious guard dog. There is a shocking retaliation at the end which I wasn't expecting especially from Steve. I guess he was pushed to the edge. The book also ends quite suddenly.
I would say if you are into zombie books it's worth giving this a try, but it is quite a tame book for this genre. The narrator did an excellent job with this book, he really got into character and was very believable. It's also worth noting that there were some editing issues where the narrator repeated a few sentences. Hopefully the author can get this corrected.
I was given a copy of this book for free of my own choosing and have voluntarily left this review.
