Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Freakin' awesome!!!
This book grabs you from the beginning and doesn't let go. I could not stop this book until I found out what happend next. The author did a masterful job crafting the book to capture the horror of the zombie apocalypse. This book is a must have.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - This is me, letting you know I think you should buy this book!
Ok, so this is my very first review and I'm not going to get into plot detail and what not. Read the book, you'll learn the plot.
I will say that I'm in my 20s, I'm in the navy and I like zombies. That being said, this was a great book. Everyone talks about the spelling errors and the grammer but it's written "journal style" by an average guy so it just adds to the realness of the book. I even think the fake stains and rips are a nice touch.
If you like zombies and people trying to survive in a world full of them, then this is the book for you!



Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - Very impressed
I'm writing this simply because reviews do help buyers sway one way or another(if u have not written one, write one)on buying something, and thankfully enough people reviewed this book or i probably would not have bought it. I gave this book four stars simply because I'm a very though critic overall, and their is always room for improvement. Let me start off by saying that i have been a zombie fan since i saw the remake of Night OF THE LIVING DEAD (color) when i was six to eight years old, zombies themselves i don't think captivated me, it was the awkward situation these people where put in having to flee from these vacant bodies roaming around at two and a half miles per hour, it was the having to survive a sea of these foot dragging and shifting disease infested and plagued, walking dead!

One day after school,years later when i was in middle school having long forgotten zombies, i played a game called Resident Evil on the Playstation at my friends house, once again i became captivated by the re-animated corpses, Resident Evil 2 came out shortly and it sealed the deal. Now here i am, searching for anything zombie of quality material. Disappointment after disappointment swept for years when the RE movies came out, frankly they where garbage, i know their are some fans that liked the movies but i almost asked for my money back when the very first one came out, i ditched school nervously as i sat in the theater waiting for the movie to start, and when the credits rolled i wished i would have stayed in class. It was my second semester at a JC when the remake of Dawn of the Dead came out, i craved for the movie for weeks until i finally saw it. I really liked it, it was worth the wait, and plenty of gambles in the movie that could have been disastrous for the survivors.28 days later was amazing! Something to really enjoy, the sequel was good, but ok. Shawn of the dead, a zombie comedy, i thought it was good, but it was one of those things that had great potential. After that, well things where pretty skimpy, i hated Land of the dead, diary of the dead was ok.

For all i knew everything had been drilled and drained when it came to zombies. Well, i was so wrong, i had not expanded my horizons. As i was unaware, their was dead literature both graphic and novels. I was looking up the colour night of the living dead dvd since i hadent seen it since i was a kid. Then i saw the cover for issue 50 of The Walking Dead a comic series, the cover stole the show as i was immediately sold, i read reviews they where positive, so i bought the very first hard cover, when i purchased it, i saw the picture of this novel, so i read about it, but wasent sold, i understood maybe a zombie comic, because you could show all the deatail(but as i came to find out, the series was in grey and white) but a zombie novel? I dident really wrap my mind around that concept, i thought it was to weird, but i gave it a try. I mostly only bought the book because with the hard cover i only had $20 in my basket, and in order to get free shipping, i had to spend an extra $5, so enter DBDA! Which ended up being a great decision. I enjoyed The Walking dead A LOT, i have all 3 hard covers.

When i started reading DBDA, i was turned off by the journal format, its some guys journal, so i knew from the start that he could not be infected of hurt to badly from the start because the journal kept going, then i realized, wait a minute, thats not really true, it could easily turn out many ways, like it being found, or passed on, or whatever the case etc. So i kept reading, the very first maybe 30 to 40 pages where dragging along, maybe particularly at the beginning because the author of the journal( this is not really a spoiler)is from the military, so he uses some terms that i didn't know what the hell he ment. But soon after this mark, the book takes off. And ill leave it at that. The book is a good read if you're a zombie fan, their is plenty of moments in this book that make it worth the read and the buy. So why the big set up to only say the book is a good read? I just wanted to establish I'm a fan like many of you. And this book hold strong. If you are interested, I do recommend The walking Dead. I can vouch for the First Hard cover vol. i have 2&3 but have not read them. Currently Im reading World War Z, but it sells itself, it already has a lot of reviews to help you decide if you want to buy it. This is a good book! good buy for zombie fans!



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Well paced horror
Day By Day Armageddon is presented in the form of a journal written by a Navy pilot. It is literally a day-by-day account of the world's decent into being overrun by zombies. As civilization deteriorates and news gets harder to come by, the focus tightens more and more on the nameless narrator and what is happening around him. As you might guess, there are plenty of scenes involving brushes with the undead as well as what has become the obligatory encounter with the most dangerous predator of all, living men.

If the plot of this book is less than original, it is no less compelling as a result. The tension builds slowly but surely and keeps the reader on the edge of his seat. I wouldn't say the characterization is particularly deep, but the main character is both intelligent and reasonably likeable. Because of the writing style, there are no full conversation detailed and so the dialog that would reveal more about the supporting cast is absent. I should add that I did not find this a weakness since the primary goal is to generate suspense and the author more than achieved that.

Alert readers may find that the text riddled with misspellings and other errors. This is actually explained at one point since the narrator says that this is a hastily written journal and acknowledges that it may be poorly written. Personally, I don't object to the idea, but it's probably a trifle overdone and in future volumes I hope this is either toned down or eliminated altogether.

Day By Day Armageddon is an excellent novel about a post-apocalyptic world overrun with zombies. Due to the subject matter, it certainly won't fit everyone's taste. But the pace is relentless and the tension unrelenting making it one of the better horror novels I've read in quite some time.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Day by Day
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The book covers the day to day events in a navy pilots life after the Zombies attack; although I did believe that the character was obsessed with the end of the world. He seemingly had enough supplies to last him for years. I liked the grit and the misspelled words. The book created the feeling that I was reading someones journal. Which is what it intended to do. The book was a quick read I think that I finished it in about a day. I can't wait for part two.
