    About this audiobook

    When the zombie apocalypse strikes without warning one dog will hold the fate of her pack in her paws. This is the story of Riley, an American bulldog. Follow along as she tries to keep her pack safe from a zombie apocalypse. Traveling with her are Ben-Ben the high strung Yorkie, her favorite two-legger Jessie, Jessie's younger brother Zachary, and Riley's arch enemy Patches the cat. They are a rag-tag group of survivors, who, when pushed to the limit, realize that they are all each other has.

      The Book Of Riley A Zombie Tale by Mark Tufo is a well written book from the point of view of an American Bulldog. Riley's opinon of the cat: "I don't know what kind of spell she has over the humans because they absolutely adore the purring pestilence known as Patches." I laughed out loud when Riley described eating the butter, since my own dog just snagged a new carton of butter out of the grocery bag & ate one stick before we knew she had gotten it.Riley decided to give Ben-Ben & Patches more credit. "He had more than proven his worth to me last night & I would forgive him many things I had previously found bothersome."I gave it five stars because it was fast moving & entertaining from start to finish. I will look for more of Mark Tufo's writing. He is a gifted story teller.I received a complimentary kindle copy from Amazon. That did not change my opinion for this review.

      I love Mark Tufo's books they are amazingly entertaining I hope he keeps up the great work! BUT I have to say his aidio books are outstanding in big part due to Sean Runnette's narration! I wish I could find all the books he narrated and listen to them He is awesome!

      I enjoyed the book very much. I was pleasantly surprised of how keen the dialogue or the descriptions were. On to part two.
    • 5/5
      this is my new favorite Zombie apocalypse. The humans in the book are at times (unfortunately) just as dumb as humans usually are in Zombie apocalypses but the fuzzier cast members are more than engaging and endearing enough to make up for it.
