Review: Black Redneck vs. Space Zombies
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 09 16, 2013
This novel is creative and has more depth to it than what is originally recognised. The characters are multi-dimensional and have completely seperate personalities which are easily liked and quickly, emotions are formed for those characters. That being said, the tale of Jefferson, alone, was highly predictable, nice and heart-warming, but predictable.The sci-fi elements to this novel are great, they are original, inventive and creepy as all get out!! Roy has created aliens/zombies that are gorgeously horrible and that is a breath of fresh air, from the normal, slow moving, dead person looking zombies, and from the stereotypical, big headed aliens, so in that aspect this novel is great.The plot is clear from the first few chapters, and that takes away from the novel slightly due to that predictability, only for the fact that the reader can work out how the novel is going to end, before it actually did, that being said, being taken along for the ride with the amazing characters Roy has created, makes that predictability seem un-important.This novel, at 300 pages, feels a lot shorter than that, once the action begins to run at full pace, and you will fly through it before you realise you have done it, a great and inventive novel, with courageous and perhaps a little eccentric characters, my favourite by far is Mary, so if you are going to read this, look out for her ;)A fun, fast paced read that deserves to be read, I gaurantee, even if this novel doesn't sound like it is for you, that you will like certain aspects about it, definetly is a novel for any YA reader or just anyone looking for something fresh and new within the Sci-fi-Zombie-Alien genre!
