Fall of Night: A Zombie Novel by Jonathan Maberry

4.0

I adore Jonathan Maberry. He's my go-to recommendation for anyone wanting a quality horror read. I also love, love, love the world he created for his YA series and am thrilled beyond belief to get to continue visiting there. That said, I had to downgrade my rating for this book. Sadly, the editing was crap. Yes, I know, Mr. Maberry is not at fault for the editing. Nevertheless, it presents a formidable distraction while reading. I read the ebook, but also had on hand a print copy. The errors were consistent between copies. I'm not one to complain about a few misspellings or random letters left in the final copy. But really, there's a whole chapter that is out of sequence and, I believe, was meant to be removed (chapter sixty seven, page 196). Errors in tense, spelling, continuity, and characters were too frequent, particularly in the second half. So frequent that, at best they dumped me out of the story for a second, and at worst they sent me scrambling for the last appearance of a character or mention of an event to clarify. Even with all its troubles, this book is a great ride. Fast paced, action packed, skin crawling horror, fantastic dialog, everything that I love about Mr. Maberry's books-it's all here and I enjoyed-almost-every page.
