kiiwiisii 's review for:
Rot & Ruin
by Jonathan Maberry
Notes while reading by chapter:
1. seems like brother picked up the job to make up for leaving mom to die and the main character is just young and naive.
2. interesting race inclusion. All grey in the end.
"like a happy party on his feet" wtf?
7. Whoa Tom is old
8. That whole monk scene was weird and melodramatic.
9. I like the comparison of looting and not rebuilding industry to drilling for oil.
14. "Benny was awake for more than an hour before he realized that he felt better. Not completely. Maybe not even a lot. Just... Better."
16. Overdramatic laughter.
17. "The author poured himself a third cup of coffee, thought about it, then got up and fetched a bottle of bourbon from a cupboard and poured a healthy shot into his cup."
"The artist was one of those people who had no poker face at all. Everything he felt, everything he'd ever seen was there to be read."
22. Nix is so smart and saying real things and he's just thinking "god, i love her" or worse "I wish I did"
24. So intelligently thought out. "We kind of lost the fight more than the dead won it."
28. As annoying as he is, I like that Benny is not a natural born killer and Tom doesn't assume he just has a gift
29. "her dead hands fell away, opening like dying flowers on the edge of the bed." What an image.
35. then he suddenly becomes a badass who charges through hundreds of zombies and murders them by the dozens blah blah. Really interesting character development if a little straight forward. Great for teens or people who don't read much.
39. ugh and here he goes fucking kissing her. Children.
45. what does lilah mean she's been called worse? How does she know what that even means? I doubt George told her.
46. Lots of girl fighting going on here for such a situation unless the point is that this is humanity and it doesn't stop for anything?
48. At least Benny acknowledges he's got some badass women companions.
54. On the one hand, obviously major characters who you never see the body of come back, on the other it was good of him to accept the loss and save the girl instead of whining (although it also just served the plot)
Good writing: "He toppled slowly forward, like a great building finally yielding to years of corruption and decay, and then he fell into the mud."
But then weird, cliche sentences right after: "Eyes as cold as all the hatred and loss in the world."
Oooh, good reason for Tom to still be alive though. Not just based on invincible awesomeness, even if he does kind of have that during the fight with the bounty hunters. Go Nix. She just fucking shoots him. Is Charlie dead though? We talked about this.
Epi: predictable last job but the red sleeves being blood was a great touch.
