Zombie Rules

2014David Achord

4.9/5

I really tried to finish this but I was starting to get headaches from rolling my eyes so much. I got about 60% through and I just hated it too much, I can't even remember the last time I didn't follow through on completing a book, but this one was so bad I got my money back from Audible. The writing was horribly stiff and awkward. The author has some bias against contractions and it sounded absolutely awful when read aloud. There were lots of grammar mistakes and I got the impression it was written with a thesaurus in hand so that it would sound "smarter"--I don't think someone sounds more intelligent when they use "big words" where simple ones suffice. I love words, I adore language, I have a degree in English, but this writing was so awkward I found it unbearable to listen to.ZOMBIE RULES was full of negative depictions of women and people of color, and I quickly grew to loathe the protagonist. Many reviewers have mentioned that Zach's transformation into a know-it-all apocalyptic hero was unrealistic and I agree. The combination of the narrator's voice and the endless gross descriptions (lots of farts, dogs shitting and sniffing asses, every woman's boobs, etc.) made me finally rip off my headphones in disgust, and I'm not a prude, it was just unnecessary and done so badly.
