Summary: Could have been better
Review: Im a huge "dead" fan, so when this book came along I was very intersted...The intro and 1st couple of chapters are very good and orginal..But in my opinion it just jumped around WAY too much from character to character..It seemed like there were at least 15 of them!!! Though it was cool to see how many diffrent people viewied what was going on to them, I would have rather had him build on just a few main characters...There are many spelling a grammer errors through out this book, but besides all of that, I have read it many times over...Im still waiting on parts 2 and 3 of this book!!! If you like zombie stories than you will love this book..

Summary: One of the greatest ZOMBIE books ever!
Review: Nice addition to your dead collection if there was any. You have a mix of my favorite zombie movies in here, but still a refreshing original story. Interesting connecting plot from all angles and you gotta love the cheerleader heroine! Some twisted stuff, but it would make a cool movie. There are a few things that were weird, but then I realized that the dude was putting in official looking military documents to give it more a sense of reality. Can't wait for the sequel! I also recommend Barnhart's Reign of the Dead, another great book.

Summary: So so at best...
Review: The first thing you need to understand is that this is an IBOOK -self published. It shows! While the IDEA is sound, it goes downhill fast. The writing is a mishmash of ideas borrowed from Romero films, Return Of The Living Dead, and oddly, the bible. The story is woven together in a reasonable way...more or less...and the author doesn't skimp on the gore or perversion (Touching on necrophilia and pedophilia in places) but gore alone doesn't save this one. I wouldn't buy this one mainly because of the godawful spelling problems and syntax errors. - They make it a painfull read. Still if you must have anything zombie this could add to a collection if only for completion. Otherwise, avoid!

Summary: I feel cheated...
Review: There were several other well written reviews so I will keep this brief.
First of all if you read nothing else in this review...stay away from this book! I have never read such a weak and unprofessionally written story. Spell check cannot stand in for an editor. The plot is weak and the characters are paper thin. The story is hard to follow becuase the sentance structure is so bad.
So you know, I love zombie movies/books and based on experience I have pretty low expectations. There are so many well written zombie novels out there this one can be missed. Instead try some of the following (not in any order): "The Rising" by Keene (not great but not terrible), "Reign of the Dead" by Len Barnhart (not bad, the story is a little weak), and finally "The Dead" by Mark Rogers (One of the best zombie books out there).
Before You say I am being overly harsh, I paid $20 for this piece of garbage. By reading this book I EARNED the right to be critical.

Summary: Not what I would call horror
Review: This book failed to scare me. The only thing scary about it was the price tag.I think the author should re think his selling price. Nice cover art though.

Summary: Not as bad as many would have you think.
Review: This book IS about zombies. It has plenty of things that anyone interested in this sort of thing would find appealing. On one side, you have violence, intense and sometimes non-stop. Gore galore of zombies feasting on the living, damned as they are. On the other, you have a conflicting human side to it of what seems to be real people at times, trying to survive in a world gone mad. It plays like a paper and pulp B-Movie, with action that includes the army and police thrown into the mix. True, the author seems to have stumbled on a few spelling, but truth be told, I have seen the same from such big celebs as Stephen King himself. (i.e. Cujo was spelled: Jujo or something to that effect.) It seems to be either human or machine error, but who really cares in the long run? Most of these reviewers seem to want something that is hard to deliver in a post Romero living dead universe. George will always be king of that, regardless, but I believe the author has tried to recreate something that is truly lacking in this particular genre. It isn't a Hardy Boys book that you can read in one afternoon. The author does jump around from character to character whom are in different locations, but that is the only way it seems to be able to tell many sides of a story. (I think it would be truly hard to understand if he would have told of one character and halfway through the book, changed to another and never went back to the first until the end. So, in this way, he switches back and forth for the reader to see how the others are getting along.) More and more, it seems some of these reviewers can't grasp the large picture and would probably do better with a coloring book instead. In the end, not the greatest, but certainly not the worse. I recommend you give it a read, and if you don't want to buy it, then borrow it somewhere. (Believe me, I did since I was initially dupped into not buying it from the reviews, but now I am definitely willing to purchase it someday.)

Summary: How in God's name did this guy get published?
Review: This book is unreadable. Yes, I read the reviews, and I still wanted to take a chance on it because, hey, what the hell, it's zombies, and how badly can you f@*& up a story about zombies, right? I will agree with several of the other reviewers and say that he does present some good ideas, but, man oh man does he need an editor. I really would love to finish this book, and if the author ever considers having it professionally edited and re-released, I just might give it a try. In the meantime, I'll stick with Mark Hunter's The Dead, The Books of All Flesh series, and Skipp & Spectors Books of the Dead series. Sorry, Darrin, I really do share your passion, but you need to stop smoking that crap before you sit down in front of your word processor.
