Reviews for The Awakening

[Austin Swenson · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Great take on zombies and original as well. Worth it.

[wensdaeheltman · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This book could have used more narration unless from the narrator

[Micheal Beers · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

Pros:
> Kinetic and adrenaline filled
> Clear concise language

Cons:
> Characters are all unlikable and baffelingly stupid. The only reason any survived any length of time is because the author said so.
> Lead character is overly quippy, like she was pulled from a marvel movie, and pretty darn kill happy. This is a character that realizes she's in a horror story, not a person reacting to a horrifying situation.
> Zombies are boring and unoriginal. I know it's a genre book, but that's not an excuse to be lazy.
> The end reminded me of a Goosebumps book. It's not an interesting twist if you just pull something out of nowhere and end the book in essentially the middle of an event. Even books in series should have definitive ends that lead to the next story. Not just cut off mid way through with a veritable "to be continued."

Summation, awful. Would have only given it one star but it was at least clear and short.
