Risen

Summary: Nothing new here....
Review: I read through Risen in a couple of days, and, though it was enough to keep my interest, it wasn't anything overly exciting. I felt the ending was too quick and forced to really build the suspense necessary to make the book as fascinating as it could have been. Some of the characters were developed partially, but not as far as needed because I wasn't truly concerned about the fate of any of the population. I was actually almost offended by the suggestion that this could hold any sort of light next to King's or Koontz's work. It's a nice brain candy read, but nothing more. I understand this isn't a die hard zombie fan book, but if you want serious zombie fiction, look back to 'The Book of the Dead" anthologies published in the late 80s and early 90s.
