Day by Day Armageddon (A Zombie Novel)

Let me be clear from the start - I enjoyed this book quite a bit. Fans of zombie apocalypse speculative fiction would be well served picking up this book if they have not already done so. The author is clearly intelligent and has done his research and his attention to detail is fantastic.

My problem is that the story is a little bit too perfect - the protagonist is just too good at what he does and his luck appears to be just too good. There doesn't appear to be a single skill or ability that he or his crew doesn't have to tackle the myriad of situations they're faced with. This is not a story about your `average joe' who rises to the nigh impossible challenge of surviving in a world filled with the undead. It's more like MacGyver vs. the Undead.

Day by Day Armageddon is a masterpiece of survival horror. This fictional diary of a man's struggle to stay alive in a post apocalyptic world full of the shuffling(and not so!)undead will chill you to the bone. The incredibly taut tension in this book of "no where to run to, nowhere to hide" jacks the suspense meter up to almost unheard of levels. The action is fast and furious with bullets flying, bodies falling and many hair raising escapes. I've read Max Brooks World War Z as well and while worthwhile it just didn't generate the type of "edge of my seat" feelings Day By Day Armageddon did. Yes the cover is cheesy but that's really the only bad thing i can say about it. If you're looking for some new horror to read i can't suggest this book more you'll love it.

It's really, truly an awesome zombie book. It's hard to compare the great zombie books (everyone has different tastes) but I'd rate it as good as, maybe better than "World War Z". I also think it's as good as "Xombies" (but not everyone liked that one as much as I did).

It's a great book. Even if you just enjoy the horror genre and not zombie stories in particular, you'll probably like this book.

I *cannot* wait for the sequel!!

This book grabs you from the beginning and doesn't let go. I could not stop this book until I found out what happend next. The author did a masterful job crafting the book to capture the horror of the zombie apocalypse. This book is a must have.

Ok, so this is my first review and I'm not going to get into plot detail and what not. Read the book, you'll learn the plot.
I will say that I'm in my 20s, I'm in the navy and I like zombies. That being said, this was a great book. Everyone talks about the spelling errors and the grammer but it's written "journal style" by an average guy so it just adds to the realness of the book. I even think the fake stains and rips are a nice touch.
If you like zombies and people trying to survive in a world full of them, then this is the book for you!
