Book Reviews of The Rising
Book Review: One of the worst zombie books that I have ever read
Summary: 1 Stars
I think my summary as to why I disliked this book so much has to do with the possessed talking goldfish. Without that and some clean up on the often very dry and hopeless plod of Keene's writing style it might have been better. In fact the father and son sections were rather emotional: surely the high points of the story.
I will not be reading any more of Mr. Keene's work even out of curiosity however. I'll stick to fanfiction and other writers for my fix of zombie goodness. Give the writer a decade to let a little maturity creep into his style and character fusion.
Summary of The Rising
The dead are returning to life as intelligent zombies. Trapped by the undead, escape seems impossible for Jim Thurmond. But Jim's young son is alive and in dire peril hundreds of miles away. Despite overwhelming odds, Jim vows to find him- or die trying.Joined by an elderly preacher, a guilt-ridden scientist, and a determined ex-prostitute, Jim embarks on a cross-country rescue mission. They must battle both the living and the living dead. And for Jim and his companions, an even greater evil awaits them at the end of their journey. This is the time of...The Rising.
