I've read a vast number of zombie books, and Day by Day Armageddon is one of the absolute best. Initially I thought that the journal-style of the book might annoy me, but I quickly fell into the story and completely forgot about the format. Bourne is a master of creating an intense, suspenseful situation and will quickly suck you in to this story.
I got this book for Christmas two years ago, and I had finished reading it before bed that night. It's so very hard to put it down! If you're looking for a well-written, George Romero style zombie novel, go for this one.

Excellent zombie fiction. The main character is interesting and beliveable. As an ex-military man I enjoyed the fact that the main character was active duty military. The action is good although the main way the characters deal with the zombies is to be real quiet so they are not discovered. One action scene where the protaganists parachute from an airport tower seemed silly and contrived and a romantic subplot is hinted at but never materializes. Despite these minor flaws (as well as a few editing problems) I found the book to be a real page turner and hope for a sequel in the near future.

The book is great. It's another well done addition to the zombie fictional world. You will like the book if you don't mind the journal format the narrative is written in. The book reads from the perpective of the protaganist, and as such it does not include a steady story-line like in traditional novels. Most of the negative reviews list this as the main criteria for their complaints. I myself didn't mind it and found it a nice break from other books.
Rating:  -
I know it was written by an amateur, which is stated in the book, but that doesn't excuse it. IMHO, the book was glib and boring. Nothing new, no ambiance created in work, no texture of storytelling.
If you've never read a zombie novel before, then this one might seem interesting, but in the end it's a wash.

I can't stress how great this book is. It is written in a very realistic way and you can truly get a sense of how a soldier would think during such an outbreak. The writing is vivid and sends chills as you can actually picture yourself in this situation because the author does such a good job. I hope the next book is as entertaining as this one...I finished it in two days because it was hard to put down!
