Apocalipsis Z

review 1: Maybe it has to do with how popular the zombie apocalypse genre has grown recently but Apocalypse Z just wasn't for me. I cut the author some slack because I now realize that the book had been translated (which is why some parts sorta read funny). A few things that bugged me about the book. - So much of the plot was driven forward by the main character doing dumb stuff. He realizes very early in the book that loud noises attract these undead hell spawn but seems to make every effort to be loud and obnoxious. I thought when he realized the whole loud noise thing early on that we would get a main character that was more focused on stealth. Instead he is hauling ass through parts of town he doesn't know that well and (predictably) gets lost and in trouble. It got to the point... more where every time he had a windfall I'd wonder what he was going to do to screw it up. - I really do enjoy reading books from the journal perspective. This one just wasn't really done that well. The character would be halfway finished with a story and then the next day would start and he would just pick it up right where he left off. Why did he wait to finish it? Even just a quick "Tired now, write more tomorrow." would help keep the timeline straighter. Overall I probably wouldn't recommend this to anyone who isn't getting it through Kindle Unlimited. Even then, I was kind of rushing through the end just so I could be done with it. If the other books ever get translated and I can pick them up for free through Kindle Unlimited I might give the series another shot since this does appear to be the author's first book.
review 2: Libro entretenido y sorprendente para pasar un buen (o mal) rato. Es sobre todo entretenimiento puro, novela de género de terror con toques de thriller, con todos los tópicos de las historias de Zombis pero con algunos aspectos interesantes: La narración estilo diario en primera persona, narrando los hechos a “toro pasado”, le da un toque realista y está hecha con bastante maestría para mantener la tensión, a pesar de que sabes que al prota no le va a pasar nada sino, lógicamente no podría haberlo escrito. El comienzo de la historia es muy bueno, la primera parte de la novela, donde se presenta el inicio de la pandemia zombi está realmente lograda. Y finalmente, esto a título personal y subjetivo, la historia está ambientada en la ciudad en la que vivo, y la historia está llena de detalles y descripciones que para mí la hace más atractiva, no estamos acostumbrados a la literatura de género ambientada en la España actual y le da un toque muy interesante. Como puntos negativos: El estilo es algo pobre, repetitivo y escaso de vocabulario, la editorial debía de haberse currado un poco más la edición. La acción decae un poco hacía la mitad y el final de novela, volviéndose más tópica y perdiendo la frescura original, además en un par de ocasiones el autor abandona la narración en primera persona de forma un tanto embarullada y perdiendo la continuidad del relato. En resumen un buen libro para los que gusten de las historias de miedo y en concreto de la temática zombi, se lee rápido y se le coge cariño a los protagonistas…por algo ya hay publicadas dos continuaciones de la serie. less
