A Zombie Apocalypse
A Zombie Apocalypse
This is another good story in the zombie genre. Jack Cutter is an artist who finds himself in the middle of the zombie outbreak, who at first seems willing to let events overcome him, until he finds a reason to survive.Pro: the story has a good pace with plenty of suspense. The description of the origin of the zombies as well as the zombies themselves follows the genre with some good twists to it. While not a full length novel, it is neither a short story, so it takes a few nights to read.
The standard: tall, good looking, white male to play the unwitting hero (check). Big trucks with fat tires (check). Lots of guns available even in unexpected places (check). Survivalist and ex-military guys built like rocks (check). Beautiful nubile women (check).
Cons: some contextual and factual problems. For example, would you really expect a belt to be a good strap to a metal gate when it is being assaulted by 100 zombies? Is every woman in the east coast willing to spread her legs simply to get some protection by the hero? At some points in the story, I expected it to turn on to a XXX fiesta based on the description of the women (living that is), what they are wearing, and how they react to the turmoil.
