Book Reviews of the Down the Road: A Zombie Horror Story (Special Edition)
Customer Review: To much hype not enough bite
Summary: 1 Stars
I ordered this book and waited weeks for it. After the long wait I really wanted to like this book. I also wanted to finish it. This is the first book I haven't been able to finish because it was so bad.
Let's start with saying I am a Romero fan, and a fan of the Zombie genere for a long time now. This book seems to want to be a side-story set in Romero's world, but if the author tried he missed by a long shot. Reading this I felt like I was reading a 14 year old's short story written for his english class.
The author puts to much of his personel feeling into this book. The author put his view of the police and the goverment into this book, instead of letting the main chactor devolpe. The "scenes" in this book don't seem to last for more then a page or two. With the notiable expection of the Sex scene which last 4 or 5 pages. Once again the author seemed to want to live out his fantasy in this book.
The main chactor is a teacher, but if he was a real teacher I would be afaird of having him teach my children. He runs over two policemen without hesition because they where writing out tickets to people as they tried to leave the city. What the author must feel like would happen in real life if he did this everyone in traffic followed without even thinking about the death of the police offices.
After reading more then half the book, I couldn't find the conferntion betweeen main charactors. In fact whenever the main chactor mets up with someone there are best friends. This is a vital piece of a zombie movie is the conflicts between main chactors.
The book seems to jump ahead and does not like things devolpe. Like the realtion between the main chactor and a teacher he saves. The main chactor went to the school to save a cross that his finacee once owned because he loved her so much, but has sex with this teacher at the drop of a hat. Let the realtion build up I say, but the author seemed to want to write about how the sex to eagerly.
on a final note, with any good zombie film you should be able to identfy with a chactor. But the main chactor is totaly unapprocable. He is a teacher with a bad attuide, who hates the law and goverment because there always trying to push you around. Oh did I mention that he also knows boxing and martial arts. A general superman all around.
the world zombie, by the way, should almost never be said in a zombie story.
Please forgive my spelling. I have tried to spell correctly. My advice don't waste your money on this teenage boys fantsy.
