    Iron sky, dead snow you name it I love bad movies. Mark tufos books are like that, awful but brilliant because they don't take themselves seriously at all.

    The molles books aren't technically awful in themselves. They're quite well written and paced. It's just that the whole zombie thing is completely secondary to the fact he is a trained marine or ranger or whatever yay America super soldier he is. The whole zombie plague explanation is nothing more than a few weak sentences about a bacteria that eats the brain in an inexplicably very specific pattern.

    Day by day armageddon is a vastly superior series with a similar military author and military viewpoint so if you liked molles you'd love that.

    Just finished arisen 1,2,3 and it's good. Basically England is left, everywhere else is z land. The author sure does love his navy seals and weapons. If that not your thing I would give it a miss. Some original ideas in it which is nice to see.

    Currently listening to black tide rising. The audio book quality is quite poor and it feels like the way it was written, bouncing around from para to para across different people makes it difficult to follow in audio format. Not great in my humble opinion.

    Keep in mind all the above is in audio format.

    Funny i have read all par the most recent of the Arrisen Series.

    My first Zombie series, and i am enjoying them.

    To be fair you are right about being a bit jumpy in a few places, i did go through a "quiet time phase" where i actually left the books down and didn't read for nearly 2 months.

    Got through most of Molles 'Remaining', still have a one more to read, I think, Had to take a little break from it.

    I also read ZA Rechts MorningStar Strain, In my opinion, this is one of the very best Zombie series I've read in a long time. I'm really really enjoying it. It what 'The remaining' could have been if the main character wasn't such a superhero. I'm on the last pages of the 3rd book and then will read the last Remaining book and update the full list.

    So Finally Finished Peter Merediths Apocalypse Series. It was a bit of fun and worth a read. One of the main characters, A 7 year old genius with multiple personality disorder is certainly a lot of fun!

    Currently reading a book called The Orphans: Origins by Mike Evans. Don't read this book. I know there are some bad books out there and a lot of muck get self published but I think this book is actually making me stupider. Seriously, the book reads like it was actually written by a semi-literate 13 year old who has absolutely no understanding of vitamins or what the word Viral actually means. I will finish it, but if I'm found catatonic and dribbling all over myself, you all know its because my brain couldn't handle any more and imploded.
