Shreds of Humanity by M’J. Hangge seemed like an awesome
concept, zombie destruction of humankind from the perspective of the walking
dead. In ironic fashion, it did not live
up to my expectations. In fact, for me
it was dead on arrival. I managed five or six
chapters before I quit. It was just
continuous thought perspective from the zombie, like a stream of dead
consciousness. There were no characters
or plot for me to grab onto.
Normally, if
I quit a book I wouldn’t even review it because I don’t think it’s fair to a
writer to pass judgment without having experienced the whole thing. But I am mentioning it because I might not be
a hard-core enough zombie fan to get it.
I will say I wanted to love this book, so I can’t help but wonder if
this was a personal failure rather than a bad book.
I feel
like there are several hard-core zombie fans in the Wartooth Horde. Someone post a review if you care to that can
encourage me to try again. Not to
mention, I don’t want to dissuade other hard-core fans from a potentially great read.
How many heads would you give it? Should I try again?
Heads Will
Roll,
