The Undead. The First Seven Days. (The Undead series Book 1)

I've given up on it a quarter of the way through, the s Despite being a huge fan of classic old zombie movies and thoroughly enjoying The Walking Dead comic and TV series I've never felt compelled to try out zombie fiction. I've given up on it a quarter of the way through, the story really hasn't progressed anywhere, endless scenes of the main and pretty much only character moving from one zombie action scene to another.

At one point half a page is given over to a descriptive passage of him taking a shit. When another character is finally introduced, and I hope for some meaningful interaction, he's virtually mute. The writing style is perfunctory at best, often juvenile. Nothing happens, just repetitive action scenes.

I hate to write such a negative review but this was truly dreadful.

The Undead: The First Seven Days by R.R. Haywood

Jul 23, Laura rated it it was amazing Shelves: When I start reading a book, I expect to have a wonderful time all the way through it. If it's a zombie novel, I obviously expect lots of zombies and tension. As rare as it might be, this book turned out to be all that it promised; very fast-paced, entertaining and funny, It is definitely not high literature for elevated souls, but it's written in a very convincing way with sometimes repetitive dialogues that bring more reality to the plot.

There was just one point I didn't quite understand whic When I start reading a book, I expect to have a wonderful time all the way through it. There was just one point I didn't quite understand which was Howie's journal. It made me think Howie would turn into a hibrid or a mutant and would be able to experience the same situations from different perspectives. Despite the fact that the approach from the virus's standpoint was very clever, it was done in a way that didn't make sense to me. All in all, I can't help recommending this book to anyone who can appreciate without prejudices this kind of literature, because for me, it's been one of the best books I've ever read.

I haven't read the print books, I actually listened to the audio versions available thru Audible. I was looking for something to feed my TWD fix. These books are alot of fun. Howie and Dave are awesome, with the books set in a day to day format, showing Howie learning to be a badass hero. In the first days, fighting his way to London with a mission to save his sister Sarah.

Fightin I haven't read the print books, I actually listened to the audio versions available thru Audible. Fighting off Zombie horde's all over the English Country side. Dave is one of my favorite characters, a quiet, quirky former special forces soldier who is a one man killing machine with a fierce protective streak for "Mister Howie" and t rest of their group.

The narrator Dan Morgan does an excellent job. Highly recommend this series of Zombie stories. Sep 12, Phillip Pitts rated it liked it. This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers.

Zombie and post apocalyptic books don't usually have anything to laugh at, but Haywood is a master at throwing in real human emotions. Humans sometimes laugh at inopportune times. One scene had me laughing so hard I could not catch my breath. It took 4 tries b Absolutely fantastic! It took 4 tries before I was able to read the scene through. Then I mistakenly called a friend to read the scene to her. I failed due to my insane laughter. The First Seven Days also made me cry big sloppy wet tears. If a book doesn't bring out these two emotions, why read it!!

Once again I am blown away by your writing!! May 29, Jack rated it it was amazing. Pretty good for a book about zombies! I was a little hesitant to read a book about zombies because I had never done so before. Very good series…even if it is about the zombie apocalypse! Nov 28, Susan Wilson rated it it was amazing. So good I've read it twice! I found this book after reading the authors Extracted trilogy.

I'm not a fan of horror and had no inclination to read zombie fiction but after trying this I couldn't stop. I read up to 22 and was delighted to see 23 come out a few days later. At which point I went back to the beginning to start again. I love the pace and the characterisation. Mr Howie may be the hero but my heart belongs to Dave, the perfectly imperfect sidekick. As others will have mentioned it's not f So good I've read it twice! As others will have mentioned it's not for the faint of heart and the grammatical errors drive me potty but I still love it!

Jun 25, Cheryl McGill rated it it was ok. Brilliant effort in the beginning Yet, by chapter 4, the author switched from a 1st person point of view to 3rd person and that is where the story lost most of its momentum. The story became boring as the zombie killing scenes became repetitive and lacked any new interest. It seemed that each "new" scene that included zombie killing was nothing more than regurgitated ax and knife cleaving of previous scenes.

It became an effor Brilliant effort in the beginning It became an effort to continue reading. It is truly a shame as the story started out so brilliant. Jun 25, Amanda Senior rated it it was amazing. Amazing, by far the best zombie apocalypse book I have read. I loved each character as they developed and their unique personalities, some with social aspects meaning a struggle but all the while being bad ass!

My favourite part is upcoming from the perspective of the infection, almost sentient in its approach. I found this very unique and suffered from any other post apocalyptic story realty g the zombies.

In addition i thoroughly enjoyed the banter and humour, as well as the laugh out loud moments which I could fully relate to. I highly recommend this series and all I can say is you're missing out if you skip it! Jun 17, Janice Kujawa rated it it was amazing. I had to wait to post this review for over 2 hours after I finished the book. When I first opened this book and saw reading time 10 plus hours I kind of inwardly groaned.

But 10 hours of the same story I won't say I couldn't put it down but I will say it was in my hot little hands every available moment. This book was amazing.

Well worth the time. Am so looking forward to the sequels. Will definitely recommend to family friends and fellow readers. Jul 28, Laurie C. The First Seven Days A epic journey not to be missed!

The Undead: The First Seven Days

A must for zom-pocalypse readers! This book, once you start, you won't want to stop. Because it's that good. Not because you want to finish A good story, but because you want to continue in it. The characters are slowly blended together, so that each one you know, before another is brought into the scheme of things.

I do like well rounded people, places, and great zombie descriptions. This is not a overnight read, or a couple. This book has gave me hope that there is more stories, like this one to read. R R Haywood is one of the most talented writers I've had the pleasure of reading to date.

If you haven't started this unputdownable series yes - every single 'day' is that good they warrant made up words! You won't regret it. Memorable characters; heart thumping fight scenes; and a new take on the 'virus' conspire to put this up there for me, along with Enders Game, The Wheel of Time series and The Dragonlance Chronicles as books I'd willingly lug around in an apocalypse! I'm painstakingly tapping out this review on my kindle Dec 13, Brendan rated it really liked it. I think the characters are the strongest part of this book.

The description of the battles and events that happen in the book can be a little long-winded and drawn out with repetition. The characters develop well and you cannot help but get involved with them. I read another review saying that the word 'mate' was used too much, I'd just ask that person have they every been to London?

All round I enjoyed this book, if it was condensed just a little it would have been so much better. Jul 08, Ashleigh Louise Sneyd rated it really liked it. Superb I love zombie books, the biggest problem I have is I feel like some leave so much unsaid that it becomes hard to follow the story. I like that this is set in the beginning and I love the way it talks about the virus growing and adapting. The book made me laugh, cry and not want to put it down.

Along the way, more characters are introduced, and despite the never-ending battles for survival, Howie and his friends continue in the mission of finding a haven for refugees. The destruction never ceases to knock down their doors while the action is non-stop. These are not your typical zombies; they are pushed onward by an infection that is portrayed as an entity having its own mind.

The epidemic evolves with a single goal of wiping out the entire humanity; the zombies are all in shapes and sizes.
