justjayneia 's review for:

The Reapers Are the Angels by Alden Bell

3.0

---

Overall, I did like this book, but I was somewhat disappointed. Parts of it are beautifully written, and it is easy to become fond of Temple, the main character. However, there is a section of this book that just ruined the entire story for me. I realize it is important to suspend disbelief when one is reading a book about zombies, but when an author sets the framework for a book like this, and then drops something in the middle that is completely outside of this framework and just seems too fantastical, even with a willing suspension of disbelief .... well, it ruined the entire story for me. It went from good story to bad B (or C) movie back to decent story -- only made less decent by the descent into cartoonish violence. So, I couldn't rate this more than a three because of that but, overall, it's not a bad read.
