Another terrific Tufo finish. Worth the credit.

Would you consider the audio edition of A Zombie Tale (Part 4) to be better than the print version?

I have not read the book only listened, but I can tell you its an amazing story. It is well written and is tied into other Tufo stories brilliantly. Personally I just love the audios more.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Riley of course. She is what every four legged furbaby stands for. Loyalty, unconditional love, protection, guidance and strength. She is truly the symbolism of a true best friend not just a dog.

What about Sean Runnette’s performance did you like?

Love love love Runnette.. A Tufo story + Sean Runnette = A work of art... I cant imagine a Tufo story narrated by anyone else. He makes this book complete and narrates the story perfectly.

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

Yes!! This is the last book in this series. These books are only a few hours long but I craved more. Even if it was 10 hours I know I would not stop listening until it was done. Lol

Any additional comments?

At first I was pretty reluctant to start this series. I mean a zombie tale told through the eyes of 2 dogs a cat a baby and a teen age girl...... But once again Mark Tufo's imagination and Passion for zkmbies as well as dogs & maybe for the cat too wiped away any doubts. He created not just a story but a work of art. The depth of his characters for this series blows me away. I mean he had to create personalities for 2 dogs and a cat and make them believable. He did that and more. As a true animal lover I found myself saying yup my cat would sooo say that, or man I bet thats really what my dog is thinking. Amazing job, Amazing series & an Amazing endjng.

the animal point of view

love how you tie this short series into your fallout series. Also I love Shaun the reader of your books he adds so much and really brings your books to life. I feel like I'm in the story and I can picture everything happening. Also love the United States of Apocalypse hope you come out with another book to finish that series cuz you left that one open and also love how you use a pot of the same characters just makes it that much better.

Loyal to the end.

What a hero. With tears in my eyes I say good bye and bless you Riley. I have enjoyed your story so very much. Thanks to you I can look forward to reading about the continued journeys of your friends and their new family. Mark Tufo it was was a sad, happy ending. I wish that it had not been so but life in a zombie apocalypse is like some times. I do so very much love each and every character in this series of books. My heart bleeds every time on of them is lost to the greater good of protecting their family of friends. But then again, truly great stories are supposed to make us feel that way. Riley i will miss your indomitable personality but I know will hear your bark as I turn the pages of future stories. Say hello to George for me please Riley. Long may your food bowl be full.

Awww Riley

Might as well change the name from Audible to Talbotsodes… that’s where all my credits go. I have made it through all the other books and this was the last series I hadn’t listened to. Hadn’t really planned on it because it was about a dog. Don’t get me wrong… I love dogs but honestly… What’s there to say? I was wrong. This little series has turned into one of my favorite story lines. The ending has me crying. Can’t wait to see how her journey goes reuniting with her “pack”.

Hate it when they end…

Especially when they are this good. Seeing things, even everyday things, through the eyes of a dog (even the cat) is eye opening. And so interesting! How Mr Tufo is able to switch that on is amazing. I love Mark Tufo’s books - AND I have even listened to other authors because Sean Runnette was narrating them! He has a talent for reading these books exactly how the authors intended!

That better not be the end!

I’m not going to say any more about the ending so no spoilers. I enjoyed that this book gave our heroine and her pack including the humans a long deserved rest. The time line is extremely choppy If you listen to the zombie Fallout series, you know how much time Has lapsed between the Scheffler this theaters the text ca has lapsed between the shufflers the speeders the thick skulls, and the nests. While listening to this book series it seems like this all happens with in a couple months of each other when it’s not that quick at all.Maybe because it’s told from a dog’s point of view and they have no concept of time LOL well I can’t let it in like that so I’m moving on to book 5
