About this listen

The fourth novel in Peter Clines' best-selling Ex series.

When he’s awake, George Bailey is just an ordinary man. Five days a week he coaxes his old Hyundai to life, curses the Los Angeles traffic, and clocks in at his job as a handyman at the local college. But when he sleeps, George dreams of something more. George dreams of flying. He dreams of fighting monsters. He dreams of a man made of pure lightning, an armored robot, a giant in an army uniform, a beautiful woman who moves like a ninja.

Then one day as he’s walking from one fix-it job to the next, a pale girl in a wheelchair tells George of another world, one in which civilization fell to a plague that animates the dead…and in which George is no longer a glorified janitor, but one of humanity’s last heroes. Her tale sounds like madness, of course. But as George’s dreams and his waking life begin bleeding together, he starts to wonder - which is the real world, and which is just fantasy?

The first half of this is a boring side quest with little to no relevance to the series at large and spend the whole time awaiting for it to end so the story could start, the second half is just a meh story dealing with the least interesting antagonist in the series.

Definitely the weakest of the series

I'm not a great reviewer - but this whole series has me addicted - so much more than the usual 'living dead' themed alternatives. I have found myself preferring to listen to this series instead of watching my backlog of TV favourites.

Addicted to the whole series
