Rhianna Schoonover's Reviews > The Reapers are the Angels

Absolutely one of the WORST books I've ever read. The plot is inspired, but its butchered by piss poor authorship & the biggest fuck up of an editor on the planet! It makes the book not even worth the paper that you wipe your butt with!

25 years AFTER the zombies rise we still have electricity, Coke, ice, power enough to run elevators, & plenty of gasoline.Diesel engines still cross the country. The power grids are all still intact, apparently humans don't need to like, SERVICE the machinery of power or anything! Hell, even electronic "tracking devices" still work when applied to cars, as do their receivers! Entire cities stand untouched, minus minor water damage and some lawns gone shaggy, the dead just mill around doing no damage to anything nor did those who died damage anything or even those fleeing the onslaught of the dead. Oh, lets not forget the dust - made up of 90% human skin & very little humans to shed it but there's dust.

Apparently EVERY weather factor on the planet ceases. No hurricanes, Houston is pristine minus some garbage in the gutter (like I said, pristine). No tornadoes, no major damage to roads. A few collapsed overpasses is about all the damage to the US infrastructure in 25 years of the undead & humanity surviving in only small pockets. No floods, the US Gulf coast is near to untouched, if abandoned.

The sun sets in the East! Apparently its an alternate reality in which an editor of a book can't be fucking bothered to actually READ the shit they're putting their name on. Anymore so than the author can be expected to do anything other than talk about lobsterized human-zombie hybrids, made by distilling zombie brain gunk & shooting up, who happen to be inbreed hicks! It seems the most incontrovertible facts of nature - the sun rises in the East & sets in the West, no longer apply!

The rich live in opulent homes & apparently grow their own mustard plants & produce their own mustard, in addition to so many other things from civilization. Let's not miss the booze that's only 6 years old! They must be distilling their own alcohol too!

No one actually SPEAKS in this book. They apparently all use mental speech as there is not ONE DAMN QUOTATION MARK around one single, solitary fucking conversation! A total & complete butchery of the English language. If this is the shit that got published, dear gods I don't want to see the 'manuscript', its probably a bigger steaming pile of shit than this book!

I've read some crappy zombie books. Ones that make me want to rush out & burn every copy on the planet just to save humanity from their crappiness. This one isn't this bad, but if someone else burned it I wouldn't bother putting it out.
