Summary

Bigger. Badder. The whole disaster so far in one volume.

Warren is a work-obsessed journalist living in Central London. Quite happy to live out his monotone life, each day resembles the next until the fateful day he encounters an octogenarian zombie shambling down the middle of the road.

Great Bitten: The First Clusterf*ck combines the first three books of the darkly humorous zombie series by UK author Dawn Peers. Loved by reviewers, it follows Warren's poor attempts at survival and leadership in a world he wasn't prepared for and that no one expected.

He is an anti-hero of the apocalypse genre. He doesn't know how to use guns, and he doesn't want to save everybody. He just wants to survive. Is that too much to ask?

as others have mentioned the quality of the recording is amature and the speaker doesn't do character voices. BUT in the context of the book, a diary entry sort of deal, it works in the books favour, it is read as though the speaker is the writer of the diary and he is recording his experiences in whatever safe place he can manage. it's enjoyable, just not on full volume

not the highest budget but it adds to the atmosphe

I’m halfway through what is a great story, with a good narrator. Unfortunately the sound quality is very poor to the point of distraction. I’ve tried several devices with the same tinny background noise. Hopefully it’s just a one off problem but if anyone can offer any advice I’d be grateful. If you like a good Zombie outbreak set against a UK background, you’ll probably enjoy this one!

Great story, shame about the production.

Good story and set in the uk for a pleasant change. No superpowers or mystical rubbish to spoil an honest zombie survival story. Bad points, narrator sounds like he’s speaking into a paper cup which is very off putting. Elements of the story are changed from one book to another and it seems that important elements are skimmed over or missed out?

Good story spoilt by bad production

This is a really interesting book but I am only sticking with it to find out what happens in the end.
However, the narration leaves a lot to be desired, it sounds like it has been recorded in an empty room and you can occasionally hear a mouse being clicked, assume this is the narrator turning a page on a screen.
There are sentences that have been repeated and unfortunately the narrator cannot/does not do voices, so conversations all run into one, even if more than one person is speaking.
If I thought that this book would be re-read I would stop listening now and await an updated version, with better sound quality.
Update - I have finally given up at the beginning of book 3, did the author not read how they ended boom two?? 4 glaring continuity issues in the prologue and beginning of chapter one, not going to give spoilers, finally pulled me out of the book fully. Very disappointing and will not be listening further or anything further this author writes.

Started well, finally gave up

I read a lot of reviews saying about the audio quality but I think it adds to the story. I think the slightly tinny audio helps the post apocalyptic story

Great story
