![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It didn't take long to make my way through this zombie filled wasteland of a book. I am definitely looking forward to reading the next novel by Keene. In the end, I think those work out to be the same thing. I found that I didn't care positively for them as much as I should have but I did care negatively for everyone who delayed Jim's travels. The book itself is very involving and enjoyable. The climax puts everyone at the same place at the same time but not necessarily interacting with each other. And in a nice pacing, the book does have sub-stories involving other characters that play an indirect part in Jim's journey. The bulk of the story though is about Jim Thurmond who is trying to travel across states to get to his ex-wife's house and rescue his son. Their main limitation is the usual zombie slowness. ![]() While being zombies and still wanting to kill the living (mostly so that their brethren can come through and take over the body), these zombies are intelligent and can shoot guns and strategize. And in a nice tie up, this becomes an issue near the end of the novel. The zombies appear because souls or beings from another dimension are making it through a hole or a dimensional weakening created by a scientist. And THE RISING falls into that same category. Or at least I'm glad that all the zombie books that I've been picking up have been well written. I'm not exactly sure when zombies came back into vogue but I'm glad for it. ![]()
