The Ravaged by Norman Reedus
2.0
Thank you to libro.fm for providing me with an ALC of this book.
I absolutely loved the fact that this was narrated by Norman Reedus, and honestly could listen to his voice in my ear all day long. As for the book itself? That was a different story.
It wasn't bad, not by any means, but it just wasn't really a good fit for me. It centers around three very different individuals, as they travel to try to find their next steps. I think the characters were well-drawn, although I struggled to really connect with any of them. And I found that Jack's storyline was the most hard to believe as real experiences, while I could see the other two actually happening more easily.
The story is littered with similes, constantly throwing them around, even when they didn't need to be. It made it difficult to focus on things, and stay in the story.
Overall, this wasn't a read that I regret, mostly because I loved hearing Reedus's narration, but it wasn't the kind of book that I found mind-blowing or memorable in any way.
