- Excellent Zombie Story!!
This has to be the best Zombie book I've come across! I read it while on vacation and I found myself actually slowing down my reading to make it last. I read World War Z last year and that was my fav until now. Yes, this journal style book is not as long or in depth as WWZ...but it is the different "flavor" that is so dead on(pun quite intended!). The perspective is great-love the main character...Great military details (I know the author is in the military)..

I have to say this-it is refreshing to not read a zombie book and have the military or government look like buffoons. The author does not make it seem like the military or Gov't are beyond perfect or anything. It is just related as real-life situations that the character comes across and you think "wow, I could really see that happening this way".

Only one drawback...I want to read the next damn book now!!!!

- A fun read that passes quickly
Zombies are always fun to read about and this book does not disappoint.

I think it bordered a bit on the "over-prepared" main character though which did take away from my enjoyment a bit. While the character will have combat skills by virtue of his background, this man seemed methodical and forward thinking to the point of annoyance in several places. It is not that the skills or actions performed by this character were unrealistic, just that such a proficient and able person doesn't make for the most interesting story.

Part of what makes zombie fiction fun is the "everyman" aspect of people from various walks of life thrown into such a tangle. As a group their skills are decent but the story comes from trying to get that group to act in unison under significant stress. In this book the main character has, for the most part, all the skills he needs himself and so the instances where ... Read More

- Big Disappointment
Day By Day Armageddon was on my birthday list this year, solely based on Amazon's description. I didn't even read the user reviews because, after all, opinions on books (especially zombie books) are subjective. After trudging through (because thats what you will do with this book) I was sadly disappointed.
The spelling and grammatical errors are tough to get over, even in a book written in journal-style formatting. The journal-style doesn't even work in this book. You have pages with fake smudges, and pictures, and random drawings and typed pages, but then all of our main character's thoughts are typed out nice and neat.
The inconsistency is a minor flaw compared to the story that shambles not unlike a real zombie would. It's very slow to unfold, all of the characters are two-dimensional at best, and I was really hoping that one of them would get bitten just to add some excitement to the story.
Overall, ... Read More

- Meh...
I picked this one up after reading some decent feedback here. The book was formatted in an interesting way told as a journal written by a naval officer who attempts to survive a zombie outbreak. This in and of itself lends the book an interesting perspective of being inside a soldier's mind, seeing the world through his disciplined, methodical eyes. Maybe this was the problem.

Have you ever watched a movie and yelled at the screen because the character's were doing something so blatantly stupid that you were glad they were going to buy it? Yeah me too. Here in lies the problem I had with this book. The main character was so smart, prepared and disciplined for what was to come that there really was never any tension created. He knew how to fight, supply, fly a plane and so on. So there was never really any danger for me. His supporting cast was never in any real danger at any point either. It kind of ... Read More
