Summary
The highly anticipated debut novel from Norman Reedus, acclaimed star of The Walking Dead
“This country wasn’t built on good—only fought for with good intentions.”
Jack’s dying mother told him, “Run and never look back.” He spent his life amassing wealth, but after losing his family, he has no one to share it with. Alone with his demons and a backpack, he heads to South America, where people with nothing teach him what matters.
After thrashing his dog-abusing boss, Hunter learns of his father’s death in a mysterious fire. Biker buddies Nugget and Itch ride with him from North Carolina to California. Stories from his father’s life help ease the struggles of small-town Americans. Hunter discovers a secret past.
Seventeen-year-old Anne flees Tennessee after her older brother attacks her. She whacks him with a skillet and hops a freight to Alabama with her best friend. Living hand to mouth, they build friendships, uncovering something they never had: family.
The Ravaged is a fast-paced, up-in-your-face novel of gritty realism, exploring three different personal quests with eerily parallel outcomes.

Awesome Love it so much!!
I loved the book, the fact that there is more than one story running throughout the whole book had me wanting more. I hope there will be a book 2 to conclude their stories. The cherry on too was listening to Norman Reedus telling the stories in his sexy gravelly voice x

Descriptive and insightful story
Bought The Ravaged mainly to listen to Norman Reedus’ read in his beautifully sexy voice, but was so impressed.
Complex and in-depth characters, vidid descriptions and some real life lessons.
Such great stories and characters, was hooked from the start.
Well written Norman.

A great story, but unconvincing characters
I picked up this book because I love Norman reedus and I was a bit bored of reading slow burn, poetic, self indulgent type books. This book delivered with fast pace, punchy action and dialogue and a really cool set of stories about freedom, companionship and sacrifice. But for maybe a quarter of the time the characters stopped short of being convincing. They all spoke with similar mannerisms and I found myself struggling to piece together an identity for some of them. They would say things that were out of keeping with their character. So I just couldn't totally get absorbed. But it was a real fun story and I'll definitely read the next one he puts out.

A story without an ending?
I was listening away after several sittings when "Thank you for listening to Audible" suddenly popped up marking the end of the audiobook. I was somewhat confused to say the least! The storylines were all unfinished and open-ended, presumably because there is a part two in the works? A lack of closure on the character's stories was disappointing, particularly as the various character threads were quite hard to follow in the beginning, and particularly as Hunter's story had only just become interesting. Norman's infamous drawl added a nice touch of authenticity but it wasn't a magnetic tale. If there is a second part to come I'm not enthusiastic enough to return.
