review 1: wtf?Look, I have read a lot of zombie novels. A LOT of zombie novels, not all of which have (surprise) been Pulitzer material. Many were in dire need of an editor; some begged for a spell checker (c'mon folks it's 2014 for goodness sakes - press F7 at least once), while others took themselves way too seriously (Rambo Conquers the Zombies).What I love about these books so far is the generous infusion of sarcasm and humor that MT uses to bring his protagonist to life. I really did enjoy books 1-3.This is even though I'm not especially a fan of zombies with supernatural powers or sinister purposes. But I can tolerate this, for the 'greater good' of the novel/series - up to a point. See Monster Island series by David Wellington.Unfortunately, this prequel goes up to that poin... moret and skids out past the cliff's edge, like Wiley Coyote in a Roadrunner cartoon (cue the handheld sign - BYE - and the cloud of dust).So, after tolerating the sketch behavior of the zombies and other supernatural heavies in the first three books of this series, I now discover in this book that the entire premise of Zombie Fallout (its "raison d'mortre", if you will) is SO STUPID that I can't go on.I don't give up easily on books. It's part of my stubborn nature to soldier through many a lost literary cause, even if the forecast is for extensive crap starting at page five.Part of being a zombie hugger is the ability to 'drink the Kool-Aid', to join in the mantra "I do believe in fairies - er, zombies - I do, I do, I do". But I do not believe in fairies, and I do NOT believe in these zombies, Sam I Am. Not on a boat, not with a goat, and definitely not for another three books.Farewell Zombie Fallout - the fallout is permanent!
review 2: Read this after finishing Zombie Fallout 7. I think I appreciated it a little more then I would have if I had read it earlier. There were some spoilers for later books in the series.This book was more serious and dealt with information leading to the start of the zombie fallout. I missed the familiar characters and humor from the series, but still appreciated everything a learned as a fan.If you love the series, I would suggest reading it for the little tid bits of information it will have for you. If your so-so on the series, its probably a book you could do without then. less
