No-one used the ’Z’ word, they simply called them the Dead and for the last seven years they have held the world in their bloody grasp. The group of survivors at the Lanherne Convent in Cornwall did what they could to make the best of life in this brutal world and compared to many their lives were easy. But when Charlie, an ex-soldier, arrives home with a distraught stranger telling of murderous raiders, they know things are about to change. Leaving the safety of the Convent to warn the other nearby outposts, Charlie, Liz and Imran soon learn it’s not only the Dead they have to worry about and before long the very stones of Lanherne are awash with spilt blood and stolen lives.

5,0 su 5 stelle Excellent zombie fiction
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 3 febbraio 2014
Acquisto verificato
I caught wind of this book as a sample at the end of another less-than-impressive zombie novel I was reading, and I gotta say this book grabbed me. It was really quite good as books generally go, and indeed excellent when compared to most other zombie fiction. I see a lot of reviews saying it could have used an editor, but I didn't really feel that (perhaps it has been edited since those reviews were posted).

There are a lot of good things to say about this book. The writing was pretty good with only a few minor issues here and there (such as some drawn out descriptions, some descriptions about characters or places being repetitive as they'd already been talked about in such a way previously, etc). Where this story really shined were the characters and the atmosphere of the setting. Not all of the characters were interesting, but they all felt like actual people, 3 dimensional, rather than the card-board cutouts of cliched lines and stilted conversation that you run into a lot in this genre. The quiet tension of the setting was well conveyed, with the tension ramping up into action as necessary. Some people may have a problem with some of the descriptions of gore, but anyone who is an avid reader of zombie fiction should be pretty used to it. It's not over the top, but it is direct and gruesome.

Anyway, this is some excellent zombie fiction, and I highly recommend it. And, if you enjoy this one, you'll probably enjoy the entire trilogy, but this book still works great as a standalone as well. :)

Generally well written. Lots of details.

Interesting tale of survivors hiding out in a convent in Cornwall. After years of security, they invite a lunatic couple into their sanctuary. Bad things happen as the religious nuts cull the living.

The primary characters are sympathetically drawn. There is romance and heartbreak. Above average. A good read.

5,0 su 5 stelle An awesome zombie novel
Recensito nel Regno Unito il 30 agosto 2013

Charlick also isn't afraid to describe the zombies as they should be - a real creature of horror. Typically the appearance of zombies is commented on to elicit a reaction from the reader and/or the characters. When there is a zombie child we feel pity and good characters may find they have difficulty killing it or it may make them remember a loved one. Charlick goes beyond this and gruesomely describes their state of decay where necessary. As I'm a fan of horror and gore so I enjoyed this detail. The inclusion of maggots, mould and putrid decay helps to create an even greater sense of repulsion in the reader when characters encounter the Dead. It also adds a greater sense of time to the novel which made it feel more real and reminds the reader that seven years have passed since the first Dead.

I found that I really liked the characters in this book, even those who were minor. I have a particular liking for Jackson. I did notice that in the beginning of the book Liz, the main character, is established seeming to care most for her younger sister, Anne. However, when Liz is out travelling, away from her sister, she doesn't seem to think about her sister as much as I would expect a weary overprotective sister would. This could have been done to avoid the narrative getting a little repetitive, but it felt as though she was simply forgotten for a day or two. Charlick did a good job of making the book seem, dare I say it, realistic. The world is grim, there is no knight in shining armour, even dogs turn on living humans, seeing them as meals and even a small band of 'heroes' can't save the unnamed victim. This is not an action packed hack and slash where the good characters can rescue everyone. Good, innocent people die and as a reader it sometimes feels as frustrating for us as it does for the characters because, given such tragedy, we just want that little slice of Lanherne heaven to grow and become normal. I'm pretty sure if Charlick had tried to create a happy book about rebuilding society it would have been dull. It's the heartbreak in this book which makes it a great read.

5,0 su 5 stelle great Zombie book, unexpectedly emotional
Recensito in Germania il 12 agosto 2013

Six days with the Dead tells the story of several people who banded together after the infection that turned humans to Zombies when they die, overruns the world. Set in Great-Britain, a group of people lives in a convent and trys to simply survive. What they don't know is that the greatest danger doesn't come from the Zombies, but from the Living...

I really loved this book and read it in one session (couldn't put it down). The characters are nicely created and you can empathize with them immediately. This is no "nice" Zombie book, rather it contains a really harsh reality that could happen this way if Zombies ever become real. The atrocities (living) people commit even during disasters (instead of working together and leaving others alone) are horrifying but the author has a writing style which makes them believable and (sadly) we all know that humans are capable of every horror we can imagine.

I was a bit surprised (sexist pig me) that a male author could write so emotionally deep in this genre, the thoughts of Liz, somehow the main character, feel real and you can sense the feeling she has for her sister and her beloved.

Another thing I liked was the diversity in the book and the non-judgemental way the author put people from different backgrounds together. The people of the Lanherne Convent feel like real people, existing somewhere and I think I will read the other books in this series because I want to know what has become of Liz, Imran, Anne, Alice, the sisters, and all the other, lovable characters.

5 Stars, really recommend it (but don't forget, it's a Zombie book with lots of gore and sometimes disgusting things (adults only).

The setting for the Zombie feast is Great Britain which in itself is not a deterrent. You get a bit of British termanology that can be distracting(I'd never call the ground "floor" but I guess they do). The beginning is nicely handled and provides a good motivation for the main character. I can't imagine an eleven year old surviving while caring for a new born infant but it sets up the relationship nicely. I think the story should have begun when the girls are rescued by the military guy that becomes their adoptive father during the early years of the siege of the dead.

A hard core military type with two girls that would be a real great story anyway...later his tribe takes in Muslim twin boys.... What a hero. Maybe a later book will take a look back...would love to read that story.

Back to the present...There were some editing issues. Misplaced words...extra words specifically...it looked like a matter of editing content and changing a few words around without going back over what the sentence ended up reading at the end. Aside from that I liked the first book enough to read the second.

Liz and one of the boys end up together...nice. A little togetherness and and finding a new life moves the story forward. The group ends up at Lanherne Convent where a nice collection of people. But they are not alone. Ultimately there is always a few crazy people that pray on others and they intrude on the sanctuary.

A little expensive but I paid for both the following books....
