Publisher's Summary
What do you eat when the shops run out of food?
Zoe loves teaching science, she loves her garden, and most of all she loves her quiet, peaceful bungalow. Then at school, people start falling ill. The virus is airborne and highly infectious. It starts with flu symptoms, confusion, and sleepiness, which worsen until one day they just don't wake up. It decimates the population and leaves chaos in its wake. Now Zoe has to find a way to survive.
Luckily, when the pandemic strikes, she already has a greenhouse full of vegetable seedlings, but not everyone around is as prepared. Can she avoid the people hunting for food: the "knockers" who don't always just knock? And will her strategy of stay in, hide, and wait be enough?

mediocre
I love prepper novels, but this one was lacking substance.
Also if I hear the narrator say “et” instead of “ate” one more time…..

Enjoyable listen
Relevant dystopian story about a virus but without the graphic violence and primitive portrayal of society falling apart.
Has enough conflict and dilemmas to make you think, what would I have done?

Amazing story
Most post- apocalyptic stories involve action heroes killing lots of people. This story is different. It features an ordinary person trying to hold onto civilized values in a world gone mad. Something in that for all of us.

Being positive and prepared if only by luck
Motivational in an evolving world. I loved this book and have read it more than once. Easy listening and practical concepts

Fiction or prophecy? A timely read.
I absolutely loved this book.
Dystopian genre is one of my favourites but I never expected to be living in a time that seems to be heading in this direction!
Some timely warnings I believe.
Lovely heroine. Suspense. Villains and heroes. I didn’t want it to end.
I especially liked the narrator. She was perfect.

Appealed as am a avid gardener
Loved have a more honest survivor and look forward to next book.
Won’t appeal to those that need kill or be killed.
But a wonderful change from those.

Better than I expected, but not perfect.
Firstly, the narrator does an amazing job. I didn't realise until toward the end of the book just how much I had enjoyed her work, likely because of how seamless and easy she had made it. Her range of voices were broad enough that characters didn't become confusing, but never sounded exaggerated or forced.
The story itself was quite enjoyable, but don't go into it expecting a wild post-apocalyptic action story. There's hardly any action and what action exists is somewhat brief and rushed. This, however, doesn't necessarily feel like a negative though. This story offers a much more realistic take on how a virus-based "post-apocalyptic" world would be structured and how real people would likely act, which I found quite refreshing. It could be a little slow at times, particularly in the first half, but never got boring for me.
A few qualms I had. The "fight" scenes felt lame, way too fast, and relied on luck more than anything else, which felt like a bit of a cop out, the final one in particular. And the main character used the term 'shattered' numerous times to describe being physically exhausted and tired, which must be a British term. To the rest of the English speaking world, that word means to be heartbroken or disenchanted. And the term was used repetitively throughout an hour block. It felt like a variety of other adjectives would have easily suffice.

Lucky pepper
Very enjoyable narrative. Characters are very “real”
Eerily real with our recent global pandemic, it doesn’t feel too far fetched as some appoliptic narratives.
Narration was very good.
Worth a listen/read

What a drag
I mean it just wasn’t interesting. Slow as a wet afternoon without the tea. Seemed to indicate there might be a second helping …I hope not
