A review by gemmaduds
Ex-Heroes by Peter Clines
1.0
I couldn't finish this book I'm afraid (I seem to be getting better at putting books aside if they're not doing it for me). After expecting something really spectacular, I was very disappointed with it and just couldn't carry on.
My main gripe was with the characters. There wasn't a single protagonist that felt well-rounded to me, and all of the female characters seemed over-sexualised or cliched. The bad guys were also one dimensional, and I just couldn't connect, sympathise or feel any kind of emotion towards anyone in the book.
The final factor in my decision to put the story down was that I didn't like Clines' writing style, to me it lacked personality. The plot felt flat and I couldn't see it going anywhere exciting.
I'm sure that others might have had a better reading experience of this one, but although I really loved the concept of superheroes and zombies - there was nothing here that got me hooked!
