Peter watched his new family drive away, certain it was the last time he’d ever see them. But sometimes plans go awry in the best way.
Now, the plan is to get back to them. But sometimes plans go awry in the worst way.
Sometimes the only plan is to believe it will be all right, even when it’s almost impossible to believe.
So Long Lollipops An Until the End of the World Novella eBook Sarah Lyons Fleming
Read all three of the books in this series. The first one was good-- 3.5 stars, but each book gets better-- 4 to 41/2 stars. After you read those, go to the sister series of Fleming's, the first one of which is Mordacious and easily deserving of 5 stars, in my opinion. What I like especially about these books is that there is a bit less violence than some of the more graphic zombie novels, yet still plenty of action, and the characters are well-developed. You really like them and appreciate each unique set of characteristics. There is a lot of humor and witty banter. There is also an overall sense of optimism rather than the dark, heavy outlook of other apocalyptic novels... the books aren't pollyanna-ish-- there is definite grit in them-- but they are a refreshing change from the bleakness of many of the other zombie books I've read (and I've read dozens). Part of the reason for this, I think, is that most of the action is people-against-zombies rather than people-against-people. I love books where the human race sticks together against a common foe rather than give in completely to base instincts such as greed, power, violence, etc, that rip apart society.Product details

So Long Lollipops An Until the End of the World Novella eBook Sarah Lyons Fleming Reviews
It had been quite some time since I read "Until the End of the World", so I was pleased to find this novella about Peter's story. Besides filling me in on his journey after being separated from the group, it also served to jog my memory about the other characters and what happened in the first book. As with the first book, this novella was well written and thoroughly enjoyable. Now I can't wait to begin "And After" to see what happens to all these characters next. And I'm thrilled that there will be a third book, too. If you enjoy zombie books where the focus is mainly on how humans survive and their interactions with one another (rather than gory zombie killing), then this is the series for you. Zombies ARE in the book and they DO kill and get killed, but it's not a gore fest. And that suits me just fine! (P.S. I'm not giving it 5 stars simply because I'm trying to reserve that rating for books that change my life in some way. ) )
This novella picks up in the part of book one where Cassie and the gang leave Peter behind. This is Peter's tale of how he got back to them (calm down, it's not really a spoiler unless you didn't finish book 1). I LOATHED Peter in 1/2 of UTEOTW. He was such an ungrateful jerk. I enjoyed this opportunity to explore his mind and his POV.
I would give this another half star because the storytelling is quite engaging, but zombies are getting stale (no pun intended). Human beings (but not all) have sought longevity and immortality in some form or fashion for millennia, partly out of fear of death. Zombies are dead but not dead, alive but not alive, a strange and Frankensteinish commentary on the concept of immortality.
If you are into zombies, then this is another worthwhile addition to the genre, novel and fresh (pun intended). Enjoy.
Another fascinating read from Sarah, this one is 73 pages, a novella. This should be read after "Until the End of the World" as should my review. *Spoilers* Peter gets separated from the group in "Until the End of the World" and of course we want to know what happened, especially since all the characters have become so dear to us. In this adventure Peter truly shows how much he's grown from the rich guy with the chip on his shoulder who can't open up yet knows nothing about survival. This Peter is resourceful, he thinks on his feet while the zombies are chasing him! He's learned to problem solve, as he has so much to live for, now that he has friends that have become family. Getting to the safe zone is the motivation he finds to risk everything to get there.
I must say Peter really grew on me, until the point where I couldn't stand the idea of him separated from Bits and Ana. Life seems to be all about growing and learning from getting your world turned upside down, and Peter passes with flying colors. I was unsure about what pods were, but in this story we really get an idea about what they are, how many zombies potentially are in them. This was so fun that when the last page on my tablet was turned I felt bereft! )
For this book, we get a Peter Side story. It is okay, but I had one fundamental problem with the book, which makes me not give it as high a recommendation, as I did Until the End of the World.
It is that Peter's story arc, got completed, at the end of the first book. He doesn't really change, or evolve, in this novella. What you end up with, is a book where he does, and sees things, but I don't feel he really learns anything. His character doesn't shift, or become more complex, to me for having read this. I haven't read book two yet to find out, but I cannot imagine that having read this will effect my enjoyment of it. Usually that is the job of supplemental material like this is.
Still it is a fun read. The price is very right. All in all, I am glad I read it. Now onto Book two!
**Spoilers** if you haven't read Until the End of the World and And After.....
I was consumed by this series for 3 days and could not put them down! I have to say I really did not like Peter in the beginning of Until the End of the World but he definitely grew on me..kind of like mold. When he stayed behind to save his friends, he redeemed himself in my eyes and I even cried for him. Of course, I was stunned and elated when he showed back up at the end of the book.
SLL is a great novella about everything Peter went through during his time away from his misfit family. I love Sarah's ability to weave a story and make you feel like you are smack dab in the middle of the action. This book was definitely a nice addition the the series and I highly recommend it!
