Story
When Thomas wakes up in the lift, the only thing he can remember is his name. He's surrounded by strangers - boys whose memories are also gone. Outside the towering stone walls that surround them is a limitless, ever-changing maze. It's the only way out - and no one's ever made it through alive. Then a girl arrives. The first girl ever. And the message she delivers is terrifying: Remember. Survive. Run.

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
I did like this book the story is fun. I like the adventure
What didn’t you like about Chris Colfer’s performance?
Sometimes she reads way to fast, her words get mumbled, and you can't understand her. Her accents and voices changed or stayed the same for some characters so sometimes it got confusing as to who was saying what until a name was mentioned.
Any additional comments?
Ok fyi- possible spoilers here- really is a good read. I am a little confused as to whether or not this is young adult or children's book material. I didn't mind it talking about someone being pregnant, but then you have scantily clad pics of certain characters...which is just, odd, all in itself. But worth a listen.

Story
When Victor Tookes went to work that beautiful spring day, he never expected to see a man eaten alive in the street in front of his office. After convincing himself that they really were zombies, he makes a trip from his house in Pennsylvania to his family home in Virginia, battling zombies all the way. His three and a half year old son was bitten on the leg, but doesn't turn into a zombie. Instead, he turns into something more than human.

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
I would recommend this book. It definitely draws you in right away, and is a new and interesting take on zombies. I'm interested in listening to the rest.
Would you be willing to try another one of Victor Bevine’s performances?
I guess I will if I want to listen to the rest of the series. But Except for the narrator, it was a fun book. He kind of sounded to "happy" in some places that i thought should have been more serious.
Was What Zombies Fear 1: A Father's Quest worth the listening time?
Yes
