Critic reviews

"There is zombie fiction and then there is crawl-out-of-the-grave-and-drag-you-to-hell zombie fiction. Day by Day Armageddon is hands down the best zombie book I have ever read. Dawn of the Dead meets 28 Days Later doesn't even come close to describing how fantastic this thriller is. It is so real, so terrifying, and so well written that I slept with not one, but two loaded Glocks under my pillow for weeks afterwards. J. L. Bourne is the new king of hardcore zombie action!" (Brad Thor, New York Times #1 best-selling author)

Pretty good zombie survival story

It was a little tough to get into the journal 1st person style, but got into it after a couple of chapters. Waaaaay better than the last one I bought... Omega Days... Ugh! I will definitely continue with the series.

Fun, but not to be taken seriously

I enjoyed the story. It was fun and pretty much covered all of the cool exciting factors of the zombie apocalypse. However, I would not entirely recommend this book to anyone who is a book enthusiast or anything like that. The journal style clashes with the first person style and sometimes you forget which is which in this book. If you're looking for a fun zombie book though, definitely worth the 7 hour audible.

A MUST READ FOR A ZOMBIE FAN!!!

The story was amazing and narrating was great, this is a must have book to have in your collection if you are a true zombie fan.

Could not stop listening!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would recommend this book to anyone who watches "The Walking Dead", It's on the same theme as end of the world zombies but the way it's written and narrated makes it even more tense and suspenseful.

Who was your favorite character and why?

My favorite character was the main character, keeping a journal of his day to day activities.

What about Jay Snyder’s performance did you like?

What a great voice! He can really narrate this kind of book. I haven't heard him do anything else though.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I couldn't listen all in one sitting and I never do for any audiobook. I like to take breaks and have something to look forward to.

Any additional comments?

At first I thought I wasn't going to like this book. But I stuck with it and before chapter 1 was over, I was hooked. It was suspenseful, had me on the edge of my seat!! Best $2.95 I ever spent on a book!

s'okay

decent, if generic, story. entertaining enough fire a long drive or two but nothing spectacular

Fun Zombie Story

Really enjoyed this story - well written and in an interesting format. Got me brainstorming on the better methods for quietly dispatching the roaming undead. I'm definitely better prepared for the zombie outbreak than I was before listening to this book.

well done

Any additional comments?

good story

good story and narrator

this was a good listen. got the remainder of series after this. would reccomend to listeners.

Erie real world feel

The flow and pace of the book took some getting used to. When you realize that the book is written as a diary or a daily log of sorts it becomes easier to follow. In terms of real life take away this book will provide real world ideas to prepare for any sort of apocalypse. Written by a naval officer and survival expert this is a must read for the entertainment as well as the practical survival preparation. Great book!

Great read, wish for a new narrator who can emote

5 stars for the story, 2 for the narrator, call it 3 overall.

I'm about an hour or so in, and the first thing i noticed was that this narrator needs some lessons in emotion. the story is great, i really wish that there were either another narrator or that i had bought this book to read instead.
It makes me cringe anytime there are passages that require emotion and especially cursing, its almost laughable the way it sounds so hollow, like someone simply reading manuscript without the ability to discern content.
Now i see that there is a second installment in this series! Too bad its such a great story, now ill be forced to listen to the next book, or maybe i will just buy the paperback.
