Lets all hope this NEVER happens.

I am a big fan Love End of the world books, you know zombie apocalypse, EMP stories etc..
I will warn you this is not like any other books in this genre. This book is definitely not for the faint hearted. Though violence is to be expected in these types of books this one has the added violence. Some actually made me cringe that people could be like that, or act like that. This is definitely a story worth reading.
I would've given the story five stars, but I'm not a big fan of people jumping back and forth from the past to the present it could be a tad bit confusing. I understand why it happened but not a fan of to much of it. Things didn't really get wrapped up so I am waiting for book two, I think this was a start to a great series

What garbage! nothing to see here, move along

Character seem out of place and dim witted. the writer seem to be clueless on the topics he writes about. Characters want to get dunk or high right after their first encounter. Beer and weed are a huge find even though in reality they could grow one and make moon shine if they so wanted. of course they have a super soldier neighborh with ammo, armored vehicles and PTSD... because all us retired vets have a cache of armor, ammo, and PTSD. main character has no depth and seems unbelievable. by the end I honestly didn't care.

Great read

Not only is the story very well written but the narrator is awesome as always. The story had some good points to take note of for those of us interested in such. As for Kevin Pierce he has never steered me wrong.

Foul-mouthed teen heroine prepped and ready for the apocalypse

This was a good(ish) story with some well developed characters in some intriguing situations. I got this title mainly because of the narrator who has told me some of my favorite stories ever. And he never fails to deliver an outstanding performance.

I was somewhat put off by the language of the main character and the gruesome details of certain villainous men's depravity, but these may not bother some people who expect no less from this genre.

It was an interesting listen. Kevin Pierce delivers again!

✫✫ 4 Stars ✫✫

I enjoyed this book and need to start book 2 right away because I need to know what started it all and where it's going. My first thought was that it is written in 3rd which isn't my favorite but if an author does it right, I can get on board and with this book I did. Book 1 started a little slow but I expect that in Fantasy/ Sci-Fi because the author needs to set the scene for the story. I was a little confused at first with the way the story jumps between people and places without any warning but once I got use to the authors style it was easy to follow. I liked that we aren't just getting one characters POV and that we get flashbacks into before which helps paint the picture for why the characters are the way they are. I'm looking forward to finding out more about some of the side characters and to see what will happen next. I am expecting the next book will be even better since newer authors usually grow as they publish more books and find there personal writing style..

This was my first by this narrator and he was really good. He has the voice for post apocalyptic narrative for sure.

A family’s struggle after the apocalypse

A post-apocalyptic story narrated by Kevin Pierce and an intro by the author explains the books that he read that made him want to get prepared (and write a novel). I mean, how could I not love this? Well, I did. It was totally different than most of the post-apocalyptic books that I’ve read but had a lot in common too.

What’s Left of My World follows Lauren after the world has already started to fall apart. We aren’t told what happened and we’re only left with small pieces of what is going on outside of their camp, but you can tell that things have gone bad quickly and everyone that has made it out alive so far is stronger because of it.

The story follows Lauren (for the most part) as she is navigating the world without her dad and the world that is unforgiving. She is an incredibly likable main character and not your typical post-apocalyptic hero or heroine. She’s young and should be making mistakes left and right. But, her dad made sure that she was prepared for almost anything and that she was the strongest person she could be emotionally (“turn it into something else”).

This story was much more focused on the family and how they were surviving than the actual apocalypse or even the people who were out to get them. Sure, there were some fast-paced attacks and issues near the middle and end, but the story is a little slower than my average PA book. I’m not complaining. I know that Rudolph is setting up the world and main characters so that I understand what will happen next.

I think that overall, I enjoyed What’s Left of My World as a change of pace post-apocalyptic book. Lauren is easily one of my favorite main characters in a PA book in quite some time, and her story is one that I definitely want to follow. If you liked stories like The Hunger Games or Divergent for the strong female lead, then you should check out What’s Left of My World. Lauren will make you wish you were her (even though her situation really stinks).

I received a free copy of this book. It has not affected my review of my opinion.

No Story just propaganda

I really wanted to like this. The intro seemed like the author was similar to me until he said he was inspired by authors like A. American. I should have returned the book then, but gave it a try. At first it was ok, but then it death spiraled into a right leaning christian political diatribe, with no plot. I can wade through differing political beliefs if the story is good. But this is just painful and I found myself reading my email and tuning out. Returning it now.

Typical....

This is usual prepper novel with ad-nauseam descriptions of every weapon/tool used. No new story ideas, govt. bad, bikers bad, everyone not part of your community bad, etc.

Personally I don't like this reader and if I'd noticed who it was I wouldn't have bought the audio book.

I will not continue this particular series.

Not my cup of tea

If you could sum up What's Left of My World in three words, what would they be?

Preppers, guns, capitalists

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

I wouldn't have focused so much on the need to be a prepper and the massive amounts of gun details. Sometimes I felt like I was being lectured and sometimes I got bored of all of the very specific information about the guns they were using. I just wanted to hear a good post-apocalyptic story. And in the end, there wasn't any resolution to any of the storylines started, so that was disappointing.

Which character – as performed by Kevin Pierce – was your favorite?

Faith

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Survival of a Prepper Family

Any additional comments?

If you are into prepper stuff, guns, and being willing to kill someone over a can of green beans while the world starves, then this book is for you. While I mostly liked the characters, sometimes they annoyed me and sometimes I felt they were being outright heartless a**holes.I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.
