nozzony 's review for:
The Reapers Are the Angels
by Alden Bell
Its Deliverance meets Resident Evil. This book had potential, had potential. What first bothered me was the lack of proper quotations on dialogue. I didn't know that what I was reading was speech until it said, she says, or he continued. So then I'd have to be burdened by rereading the sentences NOW knowing they were speech. What disappointed me more on this was why didn't his EDITOR catch it? Then he misspelled some French words and according to his bio he's a high school TEACHER! Shouldn't he know that when you write dialogue you use quotes?
So past all that, the story was a good concept, I liked his type of zombies and the fact that you've been dropped into the world some 25 years after its gone down the crapper. No reason was ever given why there were zombies, which was fine, the story didn't really need one. There were some things I didn't understand like Temple not knowing how to read and write but knew that fighter jets broke the sound barrier. She also use some verbiage that didn't belong in her uneducated, hillbilly vocabulary. Then once you drag yourself through the book, I say stop about 3 chapters from the end cause the ending really, really blows.
