Book Reviews of Down the Road: On the Last Day
Book Review: another good one!
Summary: 4 Stars
With the exception that this writer is very paranoid of the government, I enjoyed this book. If i could be so bold as to say one small critical thing? There were so many characters I found it hard to keep track. Everytime I got to know someone the chapter would end and I would meet someone knew. This could only be me perhaps, as I have always liked the more tightknit groups like in a Romero movie. Three or four main characters works for me better than a slew of characters.
A fun book,and if you liked the author's first one, this one won't disapoint. J.H.
Book Review: Another good zombie read
Summary: 5 Stars
Much like the first Down the Road book, I really enjoyed The Last Day. It sticks to the simple, but effective zombie format, with a little bit of Tin Foil Hat paranoia thrown in to help move the story along.
The book is a fast read and the action is good. The gore is described well, and it turns out to be a very fun read.
The sex scenes, like in the first book, seem a little awkward and uneccessary, as if they were thrown in mostly for the author's enjoyment, but it's not enough of a negative to impact the story. Also, the story could've done with a few less characters, but that's just me nitpicking.
Both books are heavy on the NWO\Illuminati\Global Elite conspiracy theory, with the U.N. attempting to take control of the country. I don't neccessarily subscribe to those consipiracy theories, (I do know people who do), but I do find them wildly entertaining, so it only added to the story for me.
All in all, it's a fun read. If you enjoy Zombie fiction, than by all means, buy not just this book, but the first Down the Road book as well. You'll be glad you did.
Book Review: Excellent read, true to the genre
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the best zombie books I have ever read, and I have read a few. Take a moment, order and read the thing, you will be glad you did. I cannot wait for more.Book Review: Does the author hate America?
Summary: 4 Stars
The book was good in all aspects of zombiedom. I have only one question. Does the author hate America?Book Review: No More Keys
Summary: 1 Stars
I have not read this book yet, but did read the previous one. I really only have one comment on the recent surge of Zombie stories: for God's sakes, tactical military vehicles DO NOT use ignition keys! I know that many authors use the lack of an ignition key as a action-point, but come on! If an author is going to use an item in a story, please do some research to ensure that it is realistic. If they need a key, then use the steering wheel locking cable as an action-point, not non-existent ignition keys.
