Review: Writing and Plotting needs work...
Rating: 2 out of 5

The 2 glowing reviews that existed when I downloaded this book convinced me to give it a try.  Not much risk when it is free, right?  I was also somewhat interested in the idea of different levels of zombie-hood, with different levels retaining more or less of their humanity.When I got down to reading the book, however, it just felt... amateurish.  Both the writing and plotting seemed forced.  And while the transition from one action to another, or plot point to another may have been "logical", there was just something missing that I can't quite define.  Maybe I felt like the author was telling us rather than showing us?  That's not quite right either.  Whatever it was, there was just something odd about it that kept pulling me out of participating in the book into awareness that I was reading a book. I stopped reading the book when I was 40% into it.I don't want to be completely negative about the experience.  Obviously the author was trying, and some of the ideas were interesting.  Maybe others can get past the awkwardness that I felt.J.
