Just Another Day in the Zombie Apocalypse: Episode 1 by L.C. Mortimer

1.0

I read a lot of post apocalyptic stories. Why did I give this one only one star? Well, it is repetitive, not in the same exact words, but it says the same things several times during the book. It also is too introspective. Each character has long monologues of thoughts and feelings that are not shared with the other members and I am talking LONG monologues that get boring for me pretty quickly. There is no clear reason nor warning as to why Zombies have appeared in such huge numbers overnight. Plus it leaves you with a cliffhanger. The story is well written as far as sentence structure and typos. The characters are relatable other than those long monologues. In my opinion, there was not enough story to the book other than the monologues trying to flesh out the characters and their pasts, thoughts and feelings. If you are looking for a book with the usual apocalyptic story with lots of action and Zombies, this one is not for you. It wasn't for me, but I read the whole thing because I got it for an ARC, otherwise I would have probably stopped reading around the 3 or 4th chapter after giving it a chance to catch my imagination. If you like lots of depth, private thoughts, and backstory to your characters, maybe you will like it.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
