Summary
The best-selling sci-fi thriller that blends healthy living and lots of dying
Ben Stone is terrified. He's terrified because he weighs 601 pounds and needs his right leg amputating. He's terrified because a crane will shortly lift him from his fourth-floor flat and lower him 44 feet to an ambulance waiting below. He's terrified because he hasn't been outside in nine years, and he doesn't know who will look after his beautiful dog.
He needn't worry, though, because the world is about to end.

A wonderful story about a man and his dog trying to survive the apocalypse!
This is not your typical apocalyptic story as it’s about a severely obese man who is trapped in his flat with his best friend, a dog called brown.
The book is split in to 2 parts, the before part is describing what happened before the apocalypse, while the after part is (as you’ve probably guessed by now!) what happens to him after the day of the ‘event’.
The book pulls you straight into the action from the very first page!
Having read this story before, I was so pleased when it came out on audio book as it means I can now listen to it while cooking and doing my arts and crafts.

Left me laughing and crying simultaneously at the end!
Grabbed my attention from the very beginning, I thoroughly enjoyed the development Ben went through throughout this book and was rooting for him all the way through.

Odd premise gives a great end result.
I've had such a great time listening to this. I didn't want it to end. It came as a suggestion on a list of strange book Synopsis. This quickly became one of my favorites. Can't wait to listen to the sequel.

Moving apocalypse story brought to life
The narrator really does justice the warmth, humour and horror of this wonderful story and brings life to Ben, who has become one of my favourite characters.

unique perspective on a zombie apocalypse
this unique perspective on the zombie apocalypse makes this book a must-read. however, there's only so much you can say about one man (and his dog) in one room for 6 months it was a long introspective monologue with flashbacks that I usually find extremely boring and tedious but the unique perspective kept me interested however i but I felt it was very restrained and was lacking in some kind of big finish but was an enjoyable read but i probably wont re read it

Incredible Read
From start to finish, an absolute gem of a book.
It has really made me emotionally bereft!!
Ben is one of the most likeable characters I have met.
His journey from start to finish is gripping.
Wish I could give it 10 stars!!
