A review by yodamom
Dead New World by Ryan Hill
2.0
The world has changed zombies have eaten their way through much of it. Small military fractions try to fight. One young solider tells his story as he battles, watching friends dies, nearly loses his life and has a love moment. He goes back and forth over the land search for zombies to kill or this Reverend who is somehow leading the dead into different camps. His friend is half zombie who seem to have some special skills.
I really wanted to like this I was struggling to keep on track with what was going on. I thought story is week, with many moments of confusion. They would be fighting for their lives and stop to trash talk each other or blow out some testosterone babble that just didn’t fit the situation. There are so many useless conversations jumping into the story breaking the flow. This went from telling me everything, to telling us too much of everything. Example, there of them took turn watching at night, he explains the schedule then he goes off on how everyone uses his riffle because of the scope, he loves the scope, he got it off some dead guy…I didn’t need to know that, it doesn’t matter. The language used, it was so over the top military sometimes I was just shaking my head. Time switches happen without any notice, all the sudden it switches to another time and I’m left wondering what the heck is going on for a few paragraphs.
I didn’t like the book. I could see a military person relating to it more, and perhaps that was who it was written for.
