N. C. Reed
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.

My "BUT" relates to a few things. Listening to this made me very mindful that it seems as though the story/book were written with a television series in mind. And basically all the episodes would have a similar arc with minimal conflict and feel-good endings; then on to the next episode with minimal conflict and feel-good ending. Kind of Walton-esque with some significant violent scenes, however.
My "BUT" also relates to the voice performer. He had a strong voice and did well; however, his voice also was very unique with its southern drawl, which was invested in each character. Granted, I assume all the characters were "local" to the particular Tennessee south setting in which I believe the story takes place, but it's hard to imagine that everyone talked with a stereotypical southern near-cartoonish hillbilly twang.
Which leads to another "BUT." Unfortunately, I suppose my own linguistic stereotypes surface, but making everyone sound like a middle-aged southern hillybilly-esque person, it was very hard to imagine anyone in a "contemporary" way. I couldn't help but envision Little House on the Prairie and/or Jed Clampett and Ellie Mae fashions throughout the story. Why wouldn't anyone in a story purportedly set in the 21st century have some grammatically correct ways of speaking? Why would everyone talk like I assume southerners might have talked in Mark Twain's day, but was unaware all continue to talk that way. The dialogue and performance prohibited me from visioning any of these young people (for most of the main characters were teens or twentysomethings) looking like a normal young person in jeans and a T-shirt; instead, it aprons, overalls, and kerchiefs. No way am I seeing a "normal" co-ed or teen in this story.
Good story, decent performance, kept my attention, but . . . .

One gripe? All of the minor baddies have Irish surnames! If Mr. Reed ever comes to Ireland for a book signing; I’ll be speaking to him about that! Now; stop haunting the reviews and download this book as fast as you can! x
