Book 7 of my zombie-a-thon!

Well I honestly don't know why I kept reading this and why I have moved on to book 2.

It's not bad. I think it feels flat and emotionless. Maybe it's the narration? The previous zombie series I read is filled with all kinds of emotions on every page (even if there were also heaps comments about emotions being a threat to masculinity). The characters in this novel feel a bit wooden and as a result I am not emotionally invested. I have moved on to book 2 because I am trying to hit my Zomvember target. Hopefully it becomes more realistic and less 'and then this happened, and then we did this, then we went here...'… (meer)

Book 9 of my zombie-a-thon!

Well a lot more happened in the 3rd instalment of this series and there were some great zombie attack scenes. I will read one more in this series to hopefully see what happens to a particularly unlikeable character.

Book 10 of my zombie-a-thon! I made it to double figures!

CW: All of them

Well this is a good place to leave this series. I can't say I got particularly attached to any of the people in the story as it was mostly about the act of surviving in a gore filled world rather than character development. I know some of you are thinking, why would you expect otherwise? Some zombie books are about more than running away from moaning and hungry decaying corpses. Some are a bit more of an exploration of human nature and how nations collapse or rise under the onslaught of society levelling events. Don't get me wrong, I love the simple survival ones too but this particular series lacked characters I was rooting for to survive. Just okay for me.

Book 8 of my zombie-a-thon!

Well I am very concerned about the grim future many authors paint of humanity should it be largely decimated by a zombie plague. Apparently the human survivors will not only be fighting the undead, but we will also be struggling to survive in a world overrun by power hungry sick and depraved sexual predators. It also feels like only Americans in the US will survive because these books imply that they all have at least 10 guns in their houses ready for these kinds of society ending events. I have no idea if this is true or not. All I can say is that I have a glue gun. I'm zombie fodder, people. Zombie fodder.

On to book 3 in this series as it has improved a little *whispers* but mostly I'm trying to get to double figures in my zombie-a-thon.
