this is how to do a zombie story

breaking up some typical cliches by scattering the story across several hundred miles lets omega days feel destined for a classical zombie series ala kirkman’s walking dead. great pacing, characters, and prose all around.

Not great

Nothing I love more than ZA stories but this one has too many story lines, too many characters and not much zombie action. The few instances of graphic sex were unnecessary. The reader was a droning monotone.
Won't be continuing the series.

Plenty o' Zombies

Mr. Campbell keeps the Zombies as a main thread to this story, not like other Zombie stories where the antagonists are always other groups of evil humans. The suspense keeps coming and coming. His character development is top notch with lots of good guys and bad guys. And the narrator does an outstanding job too. Thank you John! Keep these coming!

I shouldn't be reading this.

Mr. Campbell has that unique talent of drawing the reader into his book and making them feel that they are in with the survivors. Love the story development and the reader is marvelous.
A must to listen to and a keeper in your library. And this comes from someone who is NOT a zombie fan.........well, that may change.

It was just okay

The narrator was pretty good, but the story was hard to follow in some places. I did find a couple of characters that I like. I got lost on some of the characters and lost focus so I'm not sure what even happened. There are many amazing zombie books out there but this isn't one of them. Some parts are pretty good but some of it is just really hard to follow. I can't really recommend it but maybe others will find more joy in reading it than I did.

OUTSTANDING, perfectly OUTSTANDING!

Would you listen to Omega Days again? Why?

Yes, this is what a zombie story is all about. Fast paced, perfect character development, several story lines; each as good as the last and next and each a stand alone story.

What other book might you compare Omega Days to and why?

Day by Day Series.

What does Richard Ferrone bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Outstanding all the way around.

all over the place

too disjointed. never really connected until the end. sort of. wasn't able to connect with the characters

Wow!

If you could sum up Omega Days in three words, what would they be?

Original, engrossing, and a deep gulp of dark beer in zombie fiction, an area of writing that's often flowing over with over-sweetened Kool aid.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Father Xavier

Which scene was your favorite?

Can't say without spoilers!

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Father Xavier and Alden

Any additional comments?

I hope that this authors writes more Zombie fiction and fast, and I hope that he starts a revolution of originality and depth within this genre!

Solid Zombie Entry

Good characters, dialogue, diversity of characters, great local color, etc. Solid plot....storyline.

Very goof narration, the characters were brought to life.

Very Scary!!!

The characters are very engaging and you start caring about them and the story is edge of your seat scary at times and keeps you interested in what happens next
