My First Review: Diary of the Displaced - Glynn James

This first post is going to be short. I may add to it later.

I wasn't really sure what to expect from "Diary of the Displaced" when I read the description, but it was captivating from start to finish. At first I wasn't sure about the whole "zombie" theme, because I wasn't sure whether I was supposed to be taking the plot seriously or if I should be laughing at it the whole way through, but it becomes clear fairly early on that the author means for it to be taken seriously and viewed through the eyes of the person making the diary entry (i.e. James Halldon) as he is just as incredulous as to what is going on as the reader is.

I thought the plot was quite imaginative and kept you guessing without being confusing. It was a unique zombie story though the end seemed to be a bit rushed. But it was (somewhat) satisfying in the end. All in all a great read!

I received a complimentary copy of this book in order to review it.
