This audio book is awesome as it isn't hard to pick up and lay down, but still every time being completely immersed due to Griffin's perfect old school voice.
The sherlock series are also great as they give you insight into manners and customs back in the 19th century. The way they spoke was always amusing and interesting to listen to. Some of the stories can become a bit tedious and absurd, but the majority were quite enjoyable.

I liked it a lot and I was hooked most of the time though I must say that it reminded me a lot of the previous book in the style of writing and plot
even so I will buy the next book I am excited to read it also

To be honest, I just couldn't get into this story. I listened to it over a long time and rarely did I ever feel like I couldn't put it away or muster motivation to listen it through. The plot is quite original and interesting and has some cool elements, but the writing is not really captivating nor do I feel very involved with many of the characters (besides the windup girl).
The narration was good though, good variation and voice. All in all, I can't truly recommend this book.

I enjoy Doyle's work immensely. It is masterfully written in that entertaining style which was common then but now classic and elegant. The narration is beautifully done in a tone that master Holmes and Watson perfectly, though in females it becomes a bit homogenous.
The chapters are all split up into individual stories so that you can enjoy 30 to 50 minutes of mystery in little packets.

If you could sum up World War Z in three words, what would they be?

Variance, interesting, involved

What other book might you compare World War Z to and why?

I would like I know what I could compare this to so that I could find more like it. It is essentially the typical zombie story, but told to an amazing depth because it is told from so many more perspectives. It is a wonderfully unique entrance point.

Which character – as performed by the narrators – was your favorite?

The Japanese researcher, I can't remember who played him. That was a really interesting one. Even though the accent wasn't really that Japanese sounding, it was performed very well emotion wise

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

There was a point where one smuggler is asked a a question about his own unethical behaviour during the first stages of the zombie war and his response is quite amusing.

Any additional comments?

This book I awesome and made so much better as an audiobook. I got my subscription here JUST to get this book, so do indeed try it out.
