Best so far,

Best story so far, got a little crazy at a couple of points but quickly redeemed itself, hopefully John Cole and his terrible accent will be confined to history, looking forward to the next instalment

Not perfect but I really loving this series

It suffers the same issues that it always has, slightly robotic writing and over-explanation. Even so... I still really love this series. It's a very compact book with so much material. I've normally listened to one of them then had a small break, but I've done 4,5,6 and now started 7 in without a break because I am so hooked.

The Narrator does a great change by giving each character their own voice as well as having a separate narration voice., He is let down but the clunky writing.

What this series doesn't get enough love for is how original the characters are. They feel original and aren't some blatant copy of a real-world personality. Some of the storylines aren't totally unique in Sci-fi but in the context of the world they are woven into, they too feel like they are original.

I love this series so much

Always. A brilliant story

Criage has out done himself as usual with a mother brilliant Not Alone story with the continuing story of the McCarthy's and the World in this fantastic book if your new to this book may I suggest you start with "Not Alone " which is book 1 of 9

A great ending to the series

Loved it!

If you enjoyed the others in this series, there is no reason why you should not enjoy this just as much.

I do realise why some people find this series annoying, but it depends on what you are doing when you are listening to them. I am listening last thing at night in bed, and as my mind wanders to thoughts of the day, I am constantly drawn back into the story and the recapping style of the author means I don't miss anything. It is the same aimless thrills that seem to annoy some reviewers, that I enjoy so much. All the books have been far fetched, but that is the fun of it. You need to be able to suspend your disbelief and be able to chuckle at some of the more outlandish plot lines. Yes, I'm laughing up my sleeve at a lot of it, but it is fun and relaxing.

It could easily be told in half the time, but I enjoy it as a nightly instalment for a couple of hours. With its ongoing recapping it is more like an audio soap opera and I have enjoyed it immensely., I do appreciate the slow pace (and long sentences) could annoy others, but there is a story here and the story is good.

I really like the narrator and am going to seek out some more audiobooks by him (I've already noticed a vampire fantasy one), and I will keep an eye out for the authors other works.

This series is definitely 'martmite'; you will love it or loathe it. But for me, it was a fond and affectionate farewell to characters whose company I have enjoyed.

Shame it ended.

I'm quite surprised to read some of the other reviews and how it has been described as annoying or frustrating. Personally these words or thoughts never entered my mind once during the what for me was an enjoyable 13 or so hours. I've loved the series and always been pleased when I've seen another instalment was available to buy. Wanted to write the review as a heartfelt thank you to the author and narrator of Not Alone as personally I loved it from beginning to end and I think thousands of others did too.

A great ending to a great series

I was unsure how it would all turn out after events and build up in previous installments but he did it and did it very well!

Loved pretty much everything about this series!
