Ivan Turner

WARNING REVIEW IS OF ALL 10 EPISODES:

I haven't read a lot of zombie books, in fact one of the first zombie books was from just a few days ago, it was call Atticus of the Undead and you should check it out. I really enjoyed the very few books I have read about zombies, so I figured this book would be another good zombie book. Although this book is not presented like a normal book. This book is broken down into what Turner refers to as episodes, and can all be purchased separated, as far as I can tell you can't buy the whole collection in one big piece.

I think that one thing that helps this book along, is that it is broken down into episodes. Each episode is fleshed out well on it's own, like a bunch of novellas all about the same general story. This is helpful because each episode is well paced, so you never get bored when reading one of the episodes. It also helps with the overall series, because one of the biggest problems with works like novellas is you don't have enough time to really "world build", but in this series each episode in a way builds on each other. So the world is really well developed as well as being well paced.

The writing within the book was really well done. The writing was really well done, and I really enjoyed the overall series/book from the beginning to the end. Turner has a really gift at keeping things light at the right moment, intense at the right moment, and all while capturing the readers attention. Nothing with his writing ever feels dumbed down, in fact the writing itself is really smart, so it genuine is a quality read.

The characters are really well fleshed out and it's easy to connect to them. Even though these people are all in a wildly different situation then we are, it doesn't mean that we don't have things in common with them. People want to find love and companionship, some of us have a past that we need to work through.

I really like the general way of how the zombies are presented in this book. That they become a part of society. I don't think zombies are really ever well accepted in most pop culture books, shows, or movies. But I like the premise that society tries to accept them, but the again of course even that is a hard thing for some people to come to grips with so it's interesting to see all the different ways people react to the issue at hand, and the different roles that everyone place.

Over all, I think this is a pretty interesting, and unique was of writing. And it's a pretty good book/series. Although I feel like I should mention because I am doing a review of all 10 episodes at once, it does not mean that you should try to read the whole thing all at once. It's a pretty hefty amount of pages to read. So this is more of a long term read, but I think that makes it all the more fun. So for those of you who like zombies, I would say give this series a shot!… (plus d'informations)

This author has a fairly well known reputation from the series Zombies, and this is a what I am assuming is a big departure from his books having to do with Zombies. I have to say the concept is an interesting one, a guy traveling through time. But to be honest it's not the most completely original idea, but that being said it is an original book using the theme.

I have to say that Matthew as a character was quite interesting. And quite sad. The book is written from his point of view, and through most of the beginning there is very little dialogue, so the plot is really given from Matthew's point of view. The only issue with this is that it feels like the retelling of a story and not really like you are along for the ride. For me a book really has to grab you, and normally that involves me feeling like I am apart of the action and a part of what is going on within the book. That being said, it was interesting enough for me to continue on reading. I really wanted to know what was going on with Matthew, what the problem was for him.

The issue for me was really in the beginning was the time jumps. He would explain what was going on in his life at that point in time, and then suddenly we were hours ahead, or days, or weeks even. On the plus side I do feel like I was experiencing the same level of confusion as what was going on with him. I was even more surprised when he was suddenly accused, or thought of as a bad guy, as someone responsible for bad acts. But at the same time Matthew knew nothing about what has happening during his blackouts, so maybe he did. It did add a bit of mystery as to what was going on in the time that Matthew was having these blackouts, and let me tell you book having an elements of mystery certainly helps the reader want to continue on reading the book.

Matthew generally speaking is a good guy and a good characters. It's easy to feel bad for his situation, there are people he cared about who pass away during his blackouts, and I couldn't help but try to imagine the guilt he felt because of that and how he was going to handle it. That being said he handles things a little more calmly then I expected, he doesn't freak out that he is losing time, just kind of accepts it and keeps going, which that in of itself is pretty sad.

I could go on about what happens as the book progresses, but I think it would be a disservice to you as a reader, because Matthew's journey is really once that you should go on with him, and not be told about by a review; it truly would ruin the fun of reading the book. That being said I would like to give the book a "good" rating because it is well written and it does keep you interested throughout the book. I think this book would be for anyone who is looking to read something out of the norm. This book doesn't really fit into any one mold, and because of that I think there is a wider audience that it could tap into. So if you are looking for something new and interesting check it out.… (plus d'informations)
