Confusing sentence structure, but the story might keep me all in
I preface this First Impression by announcing that I am a huge zombie movie fan. I've seen both the original and reboot "Dawn of the Dead" 100s of times, and "Day of the Dead" at least half as many. I am a fan of George Romero, and I've seen him at countless Chiller Theater conventions.
To read his writing, though, instead of seeing his vision, was a struggle for me. The first sentence alone is so poorly struggled that I had to read it 4 times to understand it (and I'm a lawyer with an English degree!).
Putting aside the writing style, to which I might be able to accustom myself as I read on, I think the story is going to be fantastic and fun. I love the use of Zombie speak in a text or email. Funny. Witty. Very Romero.
And in today's climate, with Corona Virus and whatever else the bat-animal savages in this world spread to us, this is actually a pretty timely story. I would definitely read it.
