About this deal

When the National Guard finally came, he had been hiding in an office and didn't leave for two straight weeks. Like a lot of the reviewers, I had an issue with suspension of disbelief up until about the halfway point.

This is the second audiobook I’ve listened to where a fictional story is told through a series of interviews. A video was released of the National Guard entering the park by one of the soldiers for money and was dishonorably discharged. I liked that everyone tried to rationalize their actions and point the finger at someone else, who was "worse. There’s just a small skeleton crew made up of employee volunteers there to keep the park standing, and they have plenty of food and clean water to survive on.For example the Pirates are presented as the Chaotic Evil tribe that constantly attacked other groups, kidnapped, murdered, and raped people. it's told as a series of interviews from survivors, rescuers, people evacuated before it all went down, lawyers, the park's owner, etc. Glenn, the leader of the Freaks thinks he's partially to blame for the violence in the park escalating because he made them seem too scary. One of the interviewees actually gives the theory that a "lack of release" was one of the factors that caused the situation to devolve so quickly. Author Mike Bockoven has written this in such a realistic way with gritty details that it truly reads like a compelling real-life documentary.

Additionally make sure your User-Agent is not empty and is something unique and descriptive and try again. Each interview, with various "survivors" and other people who were either directly or peripherally involved with this horror show, give you more information about what went down, and it is chilling. The 'battle of the tribes' itself is less enjoyable, or at least it was for me: I'm not fond of long, complicated action scenes, which appear frequently in the final third of the book. Greeting them are decomposing bodies strung up on light posts, carnage everywhere, the smell of death and decay, and blood, lots and lots of blood. The employees were so busy fighting each other none of them thought to make any sign they needed help and the Red Cross thought the situation under control as a result.The only reason he left was because the Warthogs ended up using the place to commit their murders and began to stalk him. Irony: The deteriorating situation in FanatasticLand wasn’t the result of poor preparation on the CEOs’ part but rather an abundance of preparation. Then the power went out and in the panic three people died one of whom was an open critic of Garliek. While reading their story, hearing their side of things, the new narrator is actually the only one doing good, the only sane one, the only one keeping things together.
