I was NOT expecting to get this story, but I am sooooo glad we did. I loved seeing Peter become more and more of a man of survival and how he was so much more than he was from book 1.

He gets tested a lot but comes out it stronger or at least I felt he does. Kinda loved that he read the twilight books in this one “for Bits.” ;)
I liked that we also get a glimpse into other survivalists and what they are doing to keep going in such a trying time.

Again Fantastic Narration!

I really liked this novella! In fact, I like this better than the first book. Getting to know this character and seeing the depth of his transition throughout this apocalypse was a beautiful thing.

I mean...its a typical zombie survival story. Nothing very unique or special about it...but it was a decent way to pass the time. I guess this is part of a series...I have no desire to read more in the series but I didnt feel lost listening to the story either. It was fine as a stand alone. Free on Audible Plus.

This is the novella between the 1st and 2nd book of the Until the End of the World Series. It's the filler story about how Peter managed to make it to the safe haven in Vermont after being left for dead. It reminds me of how this series goes down like a smooth, smooth drink. I'm not necessarily in a post-apocalyptic/zombie mood at the moment, but some authors compel you to continue to read after you've accidentally perused the first page. I'll definitely be reading book #3 at some point even thought book #1 has a satisfying-enough ending.

A Minor Spoiler for Book 1



Standing on a dumpster and surrounded by zombies, Peter watched the people who had become his family drive away. He laid down his life so they could live.

Then just when he was about to use his last bullet and end it all, a window opens and a ladder appears.

At 70 pages, So Long, Lollipops is a fairly short novella taking up Peter's story from when his new family drove away until they are reunited. I'm a bit ambivalent about the whole zombie genre...there are things I love and things that really bug me. Not with this little story, I have no reservations at all. It's pretty damned good.

This will make no sense unless you read Until the End of the World. It’s a novella about Peter’s journey from the moment he thought he was going to die for his friends to the moment he was reunited with them. Fun add-on to the series!
