One of the best zombie books I've had the pleasure of reading! I love the realness of the writing and the story and found myself constantly thinking "this is exactly how I would react in this situation". Joseph perfectly blends character development with story telling so it captures you from the start and there is an instant connection to this family and a strong desire to see them meet up and survive together. I can't wait to start book two and relive the beginning from Karen's perspective!

Couldn't put it down

Love this series. Writing this after listening to the first 5 books. Starting 6 today.
The characters are just your every day people. You get an almost minute by minute play out of the first day of the zombie outbreak. The action is nonstop. I wonder how these guys keep going! I would have collapsed from sheer exhaustion. The will to survive and get home to your family would be a huge reason to keep going. Jim put over this!

Steve Rausch did an amazing job narrating.

Jim's first day is a FANTASTIC first book in this series, & I was hooked from the start! I listen to & watch ton of stuff in the Zombie genre, and this story is original, has tons of (no pun intended) "infectious" dry humor, & the graphic detail is top-notch! I love Mark Tufo's Zombie Fallout Series and Jim reminds me a bit of Mike Talbot from that series. Just start this series, and avid zombie fans will definitely be coming back for more!

HERE'S TO JIM, AND WISHING HIM MANY MORE DAYS!

On the day the zombie apocalypse starts, Jim is at work. When he realizes what's going on outside, his goal is to get home to his wife and daughters. You can feel his panic as he fights his way home through zombies and other not so nice people. Its the great story of a man who will do anything to save his family.

Loved it! !!!
