Zombies on the Block

Zombies on the Block Series, Book 1

By: Mike Evans

Narrated by: Tristan Morris

When the flu season struck America, it impaired the population, crippling what the collected power of the people were capable of doing to fight the outbreak. Unfortunately, it was not the same for everyone. There were three types of people. The first had no diseases, the second had the flu, and the third were busy fostering a zombie virus that was going to bring the nation to its knees.

This story isn't about heroes, there are no guarantees. This is a story about Mike and his family, and what they have to endure to survive. If they want to see another day, they are going to need the help of their neighbors and friends.

The situations leaving the main characters in the depths of hell are only outweighed by the comical situations that they get put in. There's no telling what or who is going to survive. Those that survive must fight or take flight and in some cases do both. Civilization will be something new when dawn's light falls on the Earth for the second day of the apocalypse.

I almost didn't make it...

the way that the....narrator speaks to us...like William Shatner is....beyond annoying. With a different narrator this might have been a decent book.

Poor anger management zombies

I’m not a fan of running zombies. I never have been. I like screaming zombies that can make huge jumps even less. If you do, you’ll love it.

Another issue was all of the married couples are all sarcastic copies with minor variations. Characters should feel unique.

Not bad.

I can tell that this story is written by a amateur zombie writer. However, with that being said. It’s still turned out to be a pretty good read. There were some funny moments that I truly enjoyed, and Diane and Danny were by far my favorite characters. Will definitely be going on to book 2.

Amateur writing

This author has a bad habit of using the exact same wording multiple times in 2-3 consecutive sentence. There’s one part where the words “so he could see again” was in 3 sentences in a row. And the use of words such as “literally” are used far too often. The story line is ok but the writing is amateur.

Didn’t love it, didn’t hate it.

There was enough interest for me to move on to the next book. I am invested in the outcome of some of the characters. It seems that nobody has last names, it is odd to hear very young children calling there adult neighbors and bus driver by their first name. The second issue is some of dialogue between characters. These people are in life and death peril, but they talk like they are at a coffee shop.
