3.0
This book is probably for military enthusiasts who are willing to overlook the verbosity of almost info-dumping dialogues and its sprinkling of informal speech in third person narrative for a fast paced Zombie killing story. The protagonist is a well prepped weapon savvy soldier with legit access to all things that goes rat-a-tat-tat and kaboom - no pew pew though because this isn't sci-fi, but that's open to debate - and I believe this character and his background is the role of choice for most dude fancying himself in a zombie apocalypse event. Who doesn't want to be military in a Zombie doomsday story? But, I digress. When the protagonist starts emoting and finger jabbing in the narrative, I know there is a lot to be desired in character building and subtleties. A fantasy eager to project itself in an obnoxious know-it-all character would be all right with me if the character experiences more vulnerability without the weapons and military backup it has. This novel does well pleasing military personnel and zombie fans. Not me, alas. At least, the action and length of this novella kept me reading to the end.
