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.

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.

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

Book of Riley spoiler alert.

Loved it. I loved every book in the series. Mark Tufo has a way of writing that truly makes you care for the characters in his novels. I was afraid for Jess, worried for Zack, and happy when they all reunited. . I cried when Riley was bitten. I wished she'd have gotten to meet Henry, but she died in defense of her pack. She died a heroes death, and Jess made it to the Talbots. A bittersweet ending to an awesome series.

Floor Fries!

Ben-Ben was a welcome comedy relief amid the sadness, horror and death. This 4th book seems to be more about the characters and less about zombies. Not happy with the ending.

A good ending to a fun little series

The final installment in the series brings the group’s journey to a close. If you liked the other books in the series you’ll probably enjoy the finally. I’ll miss Ben Ben maybe we can get a short story with him in the future.

Mr. Runnette is stellar as always
