OUCH a really bad review!!!

So someone just posted this review on Amazon...I think he just didn't get it...

Pros: It was over quick. It doesn't set up a sequel. Cons: Everything else. If you want a book about what might actually happen in the event of a zombie apocalypse, then I could recommend at least a dozen others, starting with World War Z and Day By Day Armageddon. On the other hand, if you prefer a boring, clumsy zombie tale that bears little semblance to a realistic plot, then by all means read Z Day Is Here. As a bonus, you'll find moron characters with no depth whatsoever, absurd coincidences even for a low-end horror pulp, and a writing style that is riddled with typos, tedium, and inconsistency. A few more books like this could stop the current zombie craze dead in its tracks. This is my first review posted to Amazon, but since the only reason I flushed two hours of my life on this drivel was because of how highly it's rated here, I feel a duty to try and save others from making the same mistake. I am astounded at the high ratings that this dreck has received, especially as compared to far superior novels such as The Rising or Plague of the Dead. So, anyhow, here goes. There are major spoilers below if you're actually worried about that. The Plot: The cardinal stupidity, of course, is that the narrator is supposedly posting each day's account to an online blog. Somehow he manages to lug around his laptop for 3 months while battling the zombie hordes, he keeps it safe while being slashed, bashed, crushed, and drenched. Oh, and he always finds time to charge his batteries, which makes perfect sense considering the city evidently has electric power, running water, and Internet service at least 3 months after the collapse of civilization. The city itself is never named, probably because the author didn't want to deal with anything so mundane as fact-checking a real place. But that omission does amplify the fake quality of the fictional blog, since streets, buildings, and locations are never referred to by name as a normal person would. As best I can tell, this seems to be Atlanta, with Six Flags, Dobbins Air Base, and Stone Mountain featuring in the plot. Whatever the case, the important point in assessing the quality of the story is that it takes the blogger three months to make it from his office to the vicinity of his house (and then, later, they zip out to the mountain beyond the outskirts of town in a day or so). There is also some weird topography involved, since our heroes spend a few days at a prison from which they can see a "cloud" of millions of zombies approaching for two or three days. Naturally, they stay there to await the horde, while of course keeping a couple hundred pet zombies locked up in the basement. Characters: Which brings me to the caricatures that pass for the characters we are supposed to relate with and to root for. By and large, the minor characters are so paper-thin and non-dimensional that they make virtually no impression before they get knocked off. The two that are slightly developed are 14 year old Cole who attaches himself to the hero, and the grieving lesbian Tonya who also bonds with him. And, that's that. Other significant characters, like Ken, Paula, Alisha, and Dustin might as well be mannequins. I realize the format doesn't especially lend itself to character depth, but a halfway decent author finds a way to add compelling traits or revealing moments that produce memorable characters. As it is, scenes that are meant to be riveting, such as when Tonya kills a zombie infant or when the narrator's psycho fiance stabs Alisha are just laughable or pointless. The author seems to verge on developing a few characters (Malice, Mego, Spook, and even Jeremiah) and then seems to think: why bother? As for the main character, he swings between cold self-preservation and sappy sentimentality with no obvious rhyme or reason. He allegedly has a military background, which only seems evidenced in that he knows an M60 is a machine gun. His paramount mission is to find his fiance, but that doesn't stop him from meandering around town for days or weeks at a time. He's too big a moron not to argue in a toolshed loudly enough to get surrounded by zombies, but he's agile enough to type a blog entry in the midst of a zombie attack after his hand was impaled by a machete. He also has a strong sense of chivalry, when for instance he almost attacks an armed soldier for calling his psycho-b***h fiance a b***h after she randomly stabs the woman who earlier saved their lives. Quick Hits: This narrative is not designed to flesh out a 'zombie mythos' but it still makes rather little sense that the zombies get faster the longer they are dead, which is of course left unexplained. They also seem to have circulating, fluid blood weeks after being dead, since the heroes routinely smear themselves with it to disguise their scent. The idea that even millions of shuffling zombies walking by would create an earthquake powerful enough to collapse buildings is absurd to anyone who gives it a moment's thought. The military is once again evil, stupid, and crazy all at the same time, which is a sadly common failing of the genre. Why, or for that mater how, the vast US military would be concentrated at three air bases is never made clear, nor is there any rational explanation for why they would carpet bomb Atlanta, or whatever city this is, and shoot everyone on sight, living or dead. I won't bother to go over the multitude of ridiculous coincidences, suffice to say that our hero manages to hook up with Jeremiah, who was the soldier at the scene when Patient Zero turned zombie in South America. So, there you have it. I know negative reviews on Amazon tend to get rated down, but if this saves one person from blowing $[...] bucks and two hours on this drivel, then it's worth it. On a brighter note, this book has inspired me to write my own zombie novel. If this can get published, anything can.
