Review: The Lost Journal
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 10 18, 2013
First person narrative of young Kenji, a soft-hearted soldier who's redeployed from Afghanistan to Woomera, Australia, to contain an outbreak at the immigration center there. Despite being in the military, Kenji is not the typical alpha-male type you might find in most zombie fiction. Rather, Kenji spends his time thinking about his lost girlfriend Rebecca and wondering why he keeps being ordered to kill innocent civilians. Kenji's such a kind soul, his belief in the rightness of people such that it becomes a mortal liability. In this aspect, in the middle of an outbreak, Kenji seems a little soft-headed as well as soft-hearted.I haven't read any of the other books in the series, so I'm intrigued to learn more about this interesting character, and in particular, the girlfriend who is apparently the main protagonist of the series.
