Book Blurb 17-year-old Dallas Langdon is fighting off zombies with a pizza cutter. Dallas has always loved zombie movies. But when she catches a real live (erm, dead) musician eating a man’s intestines backstage after the show, she knows her movies have become a reality. And what do characters in zombie movies do? Seek shelter. Fortunately, Dallas's eccentric uncle owns a farmhouse in Chattanooga, an eight hour drive from New Orleans. It’s on top of a steep mountain, surrounded by electric fences, and cut off from the worlds of the living and the dead. Dallas’s parents, still safe at home, laugh at her idea over the phone.

This is a non-fictional account of understanding the nuances of the Art of Listening. The book highlights the importance of listening skills and what are the required ingredients for effective communication with the help of excerpts from the Bible. The writing style is really simple and lucid, the language is easy to comprehend and narration flows smoothly.

To add on, it is not a sequel and has a standing of its own. The plot revolves around a young woman and her identity. I know it sounds weird but I cannot reveal more lest I give away the story. Suffice to say the story concept per se will not disappoint you. Read it at least once for sure.

The story does evoke imageries but the high point is that it does entice you to put on your thinking cap. The concept is ideal for a visual representation for sure. The characters had equal i...
