A review by rafternorth
The Zombie Room by R.D. Ronald
1.0
“Mangle grabbed the Taser and held it a few inches from the hole in the lock plate. He fired. The electrodes impregnated the lock with an ejaculation of voltage that caused a popping and fizzing from the compromised lock and an acrid smell of burning plastic.”
I repeat: “The electrodes impregnated the lock with an ejaculation of voltage.”
….
*shudders* So edgy. So groundbreaking. I could seriously vomit.
I cannot believe I found the will to finish it quite frankly. This book is why I don’t trust a lot of the ratings on Goodreads. The writing was juvenile, the dialogue in particular was god awful, none of the characters had any chemistry and nothing made sense. I don’t think I’ve ever read something so unrealistic that it made me mad. The bad guys the “gang” were running from were supposed to be a big threat. Ronald made it look like it was the easiest thing in the world to do. An adversary means fuck all to a story if you can just run right through them. There’s so tension or risk. Not impressed.
Rating: 1 Star
