White Flag of the Dead
review 1: Really good zombie book. I like the idea of taking everything back, mostly people are hiding in zombie books, or running for their lives. Most zombie books have a lot of things I do not care for--as if they were written for teenage boys (especially explicit female body parts,and I don't mind your normal everyday cursing, but I am like wtf am I reading), and not a grandmother like me. The main character is a great father and leader, and if there is ever a zombie apocalypse I want him as the leader. I really want to read all the books in the series.
review 2: Sorry Mr. Talluto, this wasn't my cup of tea for several reasons. The main problem I found was that the main character was...irritating, for me anyway. He constantly is walking up to other survivors introduc
... moreing himself, 'I am John Talon [I never intended to lead this bunch of survivors but I'm going to continue giving them orders like I am a five star general]' Outwardly he constantly doubts his desire to lead, but then he's always the guy with all the answers and it didn't feel like it matched up to his internal struggle. We get a lot of detail about his baby which is very boring, like all the stuff he feeds him and how he plays with him (by day he takes down dozens of zombies and barks orders and then he comes back to the refuge to coo over his son).Lastly, the major problem for me, but I appreciate that other readers who know about guns might not feel the same, is the author uses A LOT of detail about guns which was hard for me to picture what he's taking about because I don't know all the names and calibres. It wouldn't have been much of a problem if the story wasn't thick with these details, I felt like I was reading blind during these descriptions. A good read for gun enthusiasts, but for me as a zombie apocalypse aficionado I found it wanting in terms of character structure. less
