Summary
A post-apocalyptic fiction by N.C. Reed.
Billy Todd has always been different. Most people called him odd, and those were the nice people. Though he was born with a learning disability, Billy's parents never allowed him to consider himself disabled. Raised to be self-sufficient, Billy might not be as smart as some, but he was a lot smarter than people realized.
When the entire world is devastated by a plague that kills over 95 percent of the population, Billy is not helpless. Believing he may be the only survivor in his town, he manages to place himself in a good position to survive alone in a new world.

Wonderful!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💥
I don’t often write reviews, normally just give a star rating.
With this book however I felt I had to say something.
It was just stunning!!
I was a bit skeptical at first but thought I would give it a go. Th book had me engrossed from start to finish and I couldn’t wait to get back to it.
Billy Todd is a wonderful character and would love to meet him for real.😉.
I am in the UK and after this book, I would love to visit Tennessee (preferably not after a plague though).
Another thing which deserves complimenting is the total lack of vulgarity. So refreshing in this day and age when swearing, blasphemy and explicit content seems to be the norm.
Huge congratulations to you Mr Reed and brilliantly performed by Christopher Lane.
I will definitely be checking out your other books.
Kindest regards to you both.
Get this book, you won’t regret it.

cosy-ish dystopian
A fine and comfortable post-apocalyptic read, it was a lengthy but engaging affair. Great narrator too.
By comfortable i mean it's a book where while there's a lot of tension, everything works out, always. Whether by sheer luck, fate, deus ex machina, it's a bit of a "cosy dystopian" in that regard.
You'll enjoy it if you like to read about sensible people forming and running a healthy community.
The ending was abrupt and unsatisfying, the big baddies that were built up throughout got sorted in a quick bit of action.
I do agree with a lot of reviews about repetitiveness and enforced gender roles, but it did not tarnish my enjoyment, only caused occasional irritation.
(One thing i wondered about though was thy hypocrisy of our group, foraging and emptying every shop and home while looking down at other groups doing the same and feeling sorry for folks who had to go without because there was nothing left around. Go figure. )

Really enjoyable
I took a chance with this one on the basis the reviews were good and we share the same last name. Boy am I glad I did. I have read/ listened to many books and this one has become my favourite on just one listen. I was sad to see its a one and done book, but it was so well put together. Well done Mr Reed.

A slow to fast post-apocalyptic adventure
A vastly enjoyable story, full of wonderfully well-drawn character’s. It’s slow at times, fast and furious at others, and a punch like a kick from a mule.
Billy Todd is not dumb like some think, he is much, much smarter than he thinks. And he starts a new life for himself and a small band of random people who somehow survive the worse epidemic in the history of the world, only to find that for some survivors it’s not a chance to rebuild the world into a fair and manly place but to pass a line into human depravity.

Fabulous book
I loved this book. I enjoyed the narration and the level of suspense in the story. The characters are well drawn and the plot was creative without being too fanciful. I will miss Billy Todd.

Fantastic
This was a fantastically entertaining read, absolutely gripping, action packed with exciting plot twists and great characters. The narration was really enjoyable, I was so disappointed when I reached the end. I received this book in exchange for my honest review.

Not sure at first, then totally hooked!
At the very beginning I was wary of the narrator but once I got over myself, I was totally entranced by the depth of this story. Being quite dyslexic myself I know at least some of what Billy has gone thru in the "Normal world" and am not surprised that he came into his own in a post apocalyptic world. We tend to think quite differently to others and this sort of problem solving and preparation are a daily activity for us and if you have the gumption very adaptable to this sort of scenario. I have read/listened to hundreds of dystopian stories over the years and this is one of the best so far.
