If the cat dies in at any point in the trilogy, I am changing my rating to one star.Otherwise, a notch better than the majority of zombie apocalypse out there. The protagonist may be the luckiest person who ever lived which is stretching my credulity.
This was fun -- we see the end of the world come through one regular guy's blog posts and journal entries. The writing was a little stiff sometimes, but that might be because of a) the translation or b) the character, who doesn't seem like the type who would be waxing lyrical and poetic. So the writ...
Stronger in the end it still started weaker and more drawn out. Quite possibly because this started as a blog. I liked or in the end. A lot of dispelling of belief and ignoring glaring ridiculous accounts I still can say I liked it. Enough to buy book two.
There are many books written in diary format in zombie-world, and very few of them that I particularly enjoyed. If I had known that Apocalypse Z was written as a diary, I therefore probably would have passed it over, but I'm glad I didn't. I believe that the name of the main character is never revea...
Ever since I read [b:World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War|8908|World War Z An Oral History of the Zombie War|Max Brooks|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1320398267s/8908.jpg|817], reading PA zombie fiction has become one of my guilty pleasures.

It's not bad but I got about 1/4 into it and it was feeling like another mostly generic zombie novel.
This was a decent zombie novel. There were some parts that I found irritating (like the fact that the main character seemed to go right into sexualizing a young teen girl within minutes of finding her), but most of the book was clever and well done. I particularly liked the method of telling the s...
Review posted at: Read, Rinse, RepeatThe information emerging from Russia is full of contradictions. The government insists there is no problem, and yet health care workers from around the world have been summoned. Is it the West Nile virus? Ebola? Nearby countries are shutting their borders and ord...
I was hooked on this right away before I lost speed around page 106; recently, I needed to return my copy.I may return to this someday, but I might not -- I read a few reviews that made me think it might not really be worth it for me. So many books to read, so little time!
Doctor Ottavia Salina is a “paleographer” working at the Vatican. Relics of the True Cross from across the world have been disappearing, and an obscure religious order is suspected of collecting them. The pope himself has ordered Salina, together with a big shot in the Swiss Guard and a world-renown...
