Book Reviews of Day by Day Armageddon (A Zombie Novel)
Book Review: "The Road" without the literary merit
Summary: 3 Stars
Day by Day Armageddon is a solid if uninspired work of zombie fiction, written in journal format. If you are looking for character development, plot complexity, or memorable prose, you should look somewhere else. However, if you want to read about zombies (and you do, because there's no other reason to read the book), you'll probably like Day by Day Armageddon.
The novel's strength is the author's knowledge of weapons and tactics. He offers a soldier's account of surviving the zombie horde, most of which seems credible. If you are like me and yell at the screen every time a character in a horror movie bypasses a weapon, you will like how the characters in this book always go armed. They also display ingenuity and resourcefulness, two traits I respect in zombie survivors.
The storyline is not particularly original. The cause of the zombies is identical to Max Brooks' World War Z, although I do not think the authors plagiarized each other. Most of the events appear in other zombie works, especially movies. The novel is also rather impersonal, despite being a journal. Most of the journal deals with material concerns: water, food, ammo, shelter, etc. The ending is a dud, offering almost no closure; expect a sequel, which I doubt I will read.
If you are a zombie enthusiast trapped indoors on a rainy Sunday, give Day by Day Armageddon a read. You can finish it in two hours and still have time to watch Dawn of the Dead before it's bedtime.
