Day by Day Armageddon
The book follows a definite pattern - find a place to hole up for a while, lay low, and then escape when the zombie hordes overwhelm them. Halfway through the book, you figure this out, and the book gets a little predictable from there on out. It's not the conventional plot arc, which is ok, but gives the book a flat feeling by the end.
I think Day by Day Armageddon probably started out as a blog, and it probably actually worked better in that format; it doesn't have the "book" structure and struggles a bit because of it. I did a quick search, though, and didn't turn up any info.
The ending also leaves something to be desired; the book just kind of ends - like the author didn't know how to wrap things up. It leaves you hanging, and not in the traditional cliffhanger sense. A sequel
That being said, I was entertained by this book. Aside from the plotting issues, it IS well written. Bourne has a good style to his writing that fits with the zombie genre well, and the first-person journal format works well and keeps you tuned into the main character. Good zombie survival action, and the author does a good job of coming across as knowledgeable on the subject. The variety of hideouts and escape methods that the hero and friends use are a nice break from the usual.
