3.5 StarsThis is an interesting take on the post apocalyptic zombie story. I am a die hard zombie-phile and love all the different takes on the genre. This story done by J.L.Bourne takes the zombie story and gives it to us at the point of view of a modern day soldier who's name we never get to know. The name, Day by Day Armageddon, is perfect as this is a journal type story that is told by a soldier. It is a daily written account telling our heroes trials and tribulations from the first day ofI had no idea that a zombie apocalypse could be so boring! I had a hard time swallowing the "realistic" journal entry format. I think the author could have more easily drawn me into the story if I wasn't constantly rolling my eyes at his writing style. No one writes in a diary like that. There was a lot of detail put into describing flight procedures, guns, ammo, and boat engines that included lots of numbers and acronyms that meant nothing to me. Parts of the story were so dry it was like
I am a huge fan of post-apocalyptic fiction, especially zombie novels.I came to JL Bourne's books only a few months ago, but within a few pages of this his writing style had me hooked.The story initially comes from the perspective of one military man immediately before, during, and after the viral outbreak that brings around the inevitable zombie apocalypse. The pragmatism of the main character brings to mind the way Max Brook's characters operated in World War Z, but he is realistic, fallible,
DNF 23%I just can't. I want some realistic fiction about zombies with a kickass protagonist, is that too much to ask? You can't begin putting up defenses all around your house only because you heard about something that is happening in China. WTH have you the power to predict what is going to happen?!And obviously this journal thing doesn't work: a zombie book must be full of action, not full of description. I didn't give a shit about what the protagonist was blabbing half of the time. I have
Take The Martian, add zombies and subtract the humor and you get Day by Day Armageddon. So ... I guess that means it's just like journal-style narrative, which is what this is. Each day in the journal of the life of an unnamed protagonist.I was in the mood for a good zombie book and Day by Day scratched that itch. It's nothing that really breaks any mold. They're still a hoard of zombies that suddenly sneak up on you even though they're loud, moaning creatures. The survivors are the ones to
Rating: 3.5The thing that bugged me about this book is that it is advertised as a journal, but if that is the intent it is poorly done. This journal explains way too many things that the writer would know and is way too detailed, it keeps telling us things you would never write in a journal. It isn't written like a journal would be. Luckily, I did like most of the story line and really got invested in the characters Also, the end kinda ruined it a bit for me. To me it felt random and rushed.
Ok to start off this book is freaking amazing. I have my reasons why i think this book is amazing. (1.) It has zombies, how is that not cool?(unless you don't like zombie) (2.) It is done in a diary format, in military time, in first person perspective. (3.) and finally this book is probably the most intense and scary book I have read for a long time, but don't take my word for it here is an example from Day by Day Armageddon I shut the door again. My instincts told me, @* the plane cover;
