It was ok, as Vampifan said... I recently tried to reread it, but couldn't get through it a second time. I wonder if that's because I knew what would happen and the character interplay just wasn't interesting enough to keep my attention? <br /><br />Zombie Chow<br />Zombie Chowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00010704042143171523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3239850240632449202.post-61880251160830204422014-11-02T19:35:55.201+00:002014-11-02T19:35:55.201+00:00I will look out for the books, especially the firs...I will look out for the books, especially the first one. The book Blaxkleric suggested is good too. I have listened to the first one (which was actually written after the first book) and it was a good story.Shelldrakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10719790045474525633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3239850240632449202.post-53306150808075732722014-11-02T15:34:00.373+00:002014-11-02T15:34:00.373+00:00Definitely going to have a look at The Reapers.Definitely going to have a look at The Reapers.Michael Awdryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07049982879661559305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3239850240632449202.post-51925842317727701952014-11-02T13:48:55.371+00:002014-11-02T13:48:55.371+00:00I haven't read The Reapers are Angels but I ha...I haven't read The Reapers are Angels but I have it on my must buy reading list. I have, however, read Zone One, and I thought it was okay. Not particularly bad and by no means one of the better zombie novels I've read but I found it passable. Actually, I didn't mind all the flashbacks. You are right about the characters not being particularly sympathetic or even memorable. They certainly have not stuck in my mind.Vampifanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11318241813130102121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3239850240632449202.post-38203264531287274472014-11-02T12:41:34.889+00:002014-11-02T12:41:34.889+00:00I've not read these but I have heard a lot of ...I've not read these but I have heard a lot of good things about The Reapers are the Angels.<br />I'm currently reading Aftertime, my first zombie novel in a few months.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11616664689882136444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3239850240632449202.post-21950858612798242612014-11-02T09:51:19.280+00:002014-11-02T09:51:19.280+00:00Simon, I've not read either of those titles, o...Simon, I've not read either of those titles, or rather listened to them, as these days I simply do audio books. But if you want an action-packed zed survivor horror I'd recommend the Mountain Man series by Keith Blackmore. The first (short) story is a free d/l and actually stopped me painting - it was so good. Looking forward to normal service resuming :-)Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.com
