review 1: I'm officially calling DNF on this. I've tried all month, but every time I pick it up it feels like a punishment.Like I said before, this should be PERFECT for me. I love zombies. The movie is a classic. It has a foreword by Simon Pegg! To be fair the foreword was fine. The rest was just badly written.I was bored, I just wanted it to end, and two thirds of the way through I hated pretty much every character. I'm so disappointed :(
review 2: I'm going with 2.5-3.0 stars for this one. The thing is, you have to remind yourself this is was written a little after 1978 AND after the movie was out. So it's sort of like an adaptation of the movie, except it has parts the movie doesn't have. So with 2013 eyes, the zombies are kind of boring. They aren't really ever a th... morereat, so it's hard to really care. The lead characters are just okay. The action scenes are even boring and poorly written. And I don't mean grammar really, I mean confusing as in hard to picture what is happening. The book also does my #1 pet peeve: jumping in between 3-4 characters thoughts on the same page. It's so difficult to follow. More chapter breaks or scene breaks would have helped, it was all just so confusing. Plus, another pet peeve is when a sentence has an exclamation point when it's not that exciting of a statement, it just seems so silly. WITH THAT SAID, as a zombie die hard fan, there were parts of the book I really enjoyed and the whole "trapped in a mall" thing would probably be my dream zombie apocalypse scenario. Glad I finally got to read this one, even if it had some negatives. less
