no worries, my man!

Re: zombie fan? Read Day by Day Armageddon? Read on!
 

I just finished reading the book, Andy. I have to say I'm pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed it.
Looks like you're safe for now. ;)

i read most of the first one when he had it up online (4, 5 years ago?) before he took it down to publish. i wouldn't go so far as to say he's a brilliant writer, by any means. it was a fun read, and i'm a huge zombie nut, but i wasn't tempted to purchase.

much better read, i'd say, is max brooks' world war Z - really well done, thought out and hopefully coming to a theater near us, at some point (brad pitt's production company bought the rights, but it's kinda floundering). also, there's an ongoing comic/graphc novel called the walking dead - also well done. and will be a six part mini-series on AMC this fall.

don't get me wrong, i'm not trying to deter anyone from buying the day by day book, i just wasn't totally enamored with it.

and wtf? tebow with the 25th pick? does mcdaniels just do stuff for shock value?

Just finished the Zombie Survival Guide, also by Max Brooks. Good stuff, and I feel more prepared for when the walking dead inhabit the earth feeding on the flesh of the living.

I just got World War Z and started into it. It looks like I'm gonna like it, thanks Larry. :)
I got the Zombie Survival Guide, too. I seem to remember leafing through that one at a bookstore long ago, thinking I might enjoy it. Bought something else. There's a newish book called Zombies Forever, and it looks like its going to be fun. It's supposed to be funny. :tu

I bought this yesterday on my iPad and finished it tonight. Awesome book and I cant wait for the second part to come out. I'd honestly be reading it right now if I could.....

Thanks for the awesome book recommendation!

:banger My order came in. DBDA 2

Re: zombie fan? Read Day by Day Armageddon? Read on!
 

DBDA2 is an awesome continuation of the story!
How can you not love this book?!?!

Re: zombie fan? Read Day by Day Armageddon? Read on!
 

I just got Beyond Exile on my iPad. I'll read it later today. I'm totally looking forward to it. :tu

Re: zombie fan? Read Day by Day Armageddon? Read on!
 

I read Beyond Exile in two sittings.
It was okay. It got way too military-speak for my liking. It was short on zombie attack and long on filler. I'm sure I'll read the next entry in the series, but I'm not real excited about it.
It just never advanced the story to any length. The love story didn't develop, the Iraqi buddy didn't develop, and the bunker story barely developed. It was a lot like watching an hour long part of a twelve part season on HBO.

Been a while since i've posted. Might as well make my glorious return by posting here.

While I think that Beyond Exile was a fantastic read it did lean a little bit towards this guy being the saviour of the world.

I did enjoy the part of the book where he became alone again, until he started getting his special gifts... wasn't able to wrap my head around that part completely but meh... it might make sense in the next book.

All in all, a great book but I do agree with shilala on this: short on zombie attack and long on filler.

two zombie thumbs up from me for any zombie apocalypse fan.

Re: zombie fan? Read Day by Day Armageddon? Read on!
 

I think Bourne could have really ran with the Zombie Hoarde thing. Stuff they did, how they evolved, got smarter, and how they were gonna outsmart the giant masses of Zombies.
The Iraqi guy could really pan out with his special skillz. His chick could get bitten, hide it, and try to eat him while they were sexing it up, and he'd be torn because he had to shoot her face off.
This second book really leaves a lot of potential for a third book to be insanely good. Hell,me and you could write it. :D

I smell a plan.
