TORMENT: A Novel of Dark Horror Audiobook (Unabridged)

" Wow! I was not excepting that. I thought this book was about zombies but it is about end of days kind of stuff. The author states that this is not a christian book but it actually is a christian book. I absolutly loved the book. Russia launches nukes. America launches in return. Everyone is about to die except for a few lucky people that are with the president. They are launched into space on escape pods. When they return to Earth things are definitly not what they expected. This is a super fast paced book that is non-stop from begining to end. "

" What a disappointment. The first half, it was headed for 5 stars. Then it got weird. And not in a good way. The final third, I got through out of sheer stubbornness. It got too "theological," when it wasn't just run-run-run. And the ending? Really? Shame, because it had so much going for it. "

" A fast-paced apocalyptic story that kept me wondering. "

" The first third of this book is a whirlwind that's difficult to put down. It's unfortunate that the last 2/3rds of the book didn't provide the same excitement, as least for me. "Torment" is not your typical zombie yarn. It has a little bit of everything including a great hook to get the reader to those aforementioned zombies. Without giving too much away, let me just say that the reader is in for a pretty wild ride accompanying a small band of citizens who struggle to stay alive in a post-apocalyptic USA. Author Jeremy Bishop does a nice job introducing characters, but doesn't go out of his way fleshing them out. This novel is recommended to those who enjoy a decent zombie story, but not one that will be particularly memorable. "

" If you like the show walking dead read this! "

" One of the best things about reading is finding those few gems, books that catch you off-guard and blow you away. This is one of those books. The action starts early on and just never lets up, this is truly a "can't put it down" book. At first I was simply amused and entertained by (what I was calling) the "apologetic zombies" but as the book went on I realized there was much more to it than that. I stayed up way too late reading this on more than one night, and didn't want it to end. The ending itself is quite awesome too. Will be eagerly looking forward to more by this author. "

" Nice twist on the stock zombie theme. This story started with a bang - literally, and never let up from there. I struggled with the paranormal aspect at first, but once I got into it, I couldn't put it down. "

" It's like seeing a bad wreck - fascinating and horrifying at the same time. "

" It wasn't bad. The whole theological aspect didn't bother me as it has others. I didn't focus on it, I thought it was an interesting theme actually. I would like to read more about this world. "

" Very disappointing. This book started out with a lot of possibility. I could have been a fun and exciting post-nuclear survival novel. But it really falls flat. The book becomes long and drawn out and kind of preachy. No fun was had reading this. "

" Don't know why it is called A Novel of Dark 'Horror'. I actually would call it something like A Novel of Dying without being Ready or having Christ in your life... "

" This one was a good book. Very captivating and .. at least for me.. the ending was very unexpected! It was different than what I had expected no doubt about it! "

" It was only $2.99 on Kindle, but the reviews were pretty good, so I bought it and read it. Read like a good zombie demon movie. Interesting, unique storyline. "

" Worst book ever. Zero stars for misleading. Post apocalyptic horror is NOT the same as religious nonsense. "

" Strange book, strange concepts, strange ending. I didn't get it. "

" I like - interesting and thought-provoking. Oh, and gross. "

" This book keep me engrossed the entire time. I couldn't put the book down. I felt it lost a little steam in the end but it was still very enjoyable. "

" I really enjoyed this right up to the very end. I didn't like the ending! Not that it wasn't well-written, the end just wasn't to my liking. But its a very good post-apocalytpic read, and very much in the vein of Stephen King. "

" Great different story of the end of the world, I devoured the book in less than two days. I'm looking forward to more books by this author. "

" This was actually a really fun and interesting take on the end of the world. It's probably more of a 3.5 than a 3. The writing isn't going to win any literary awards, but the story still kept me fully engaged (and reading late into the night) and the characters had me rooting for them. "

" My advice is don't bother with this end of the world, predictable zombie book. It wasn't worth my time. "

" I really enjoyed this book, very video gameish. Very outlandish but right up my alley for when I need an escape from reality and a good scare. Great visuals. Thanks Jeremy Bishop. "
