Review: Mountain Man

Mountain Man (Kindle Edition)
By Keith C Blackmore

I just finished reading Mountain Man and have to say it is, in my opinion, the best written Zombie novel on kindle. So much so that I felt I should write this review, my first ever. While the action is great this is a character driven story from my point of view because this author can actually write. Due to the authors talent with his characters this novel has a very unique and original feel in its approach to telling a story within a Zombie Apocalypse setting. The book was a great mix of true zombie gore and character development. Not a fast paced thrill ride, not a knock in this case, but a thoroughly enjoyable and entertaining read. The climatic action sequence was exceptional by the way. This is one of only two zombie books with a scene that actually had me laughing uncontrollably. It wasn't that the scene, I won't spoil it for you, was hysterically funny on it's own merit but the fact that I had come to feel like I truly had gotten to the know the character's involved and, like a close friend accidentally spewing beer out of his nose, it just makes you laugh your ass off. It might have been just me since I was up till 2am because I could not put the book down. Gus is such a well fleshed out, pardon the expression, main character. You sympathize with him, feel like you know who this guy is, and wish you hand a chance to meet him. You can't help but want to be a part of the story to help him kick some zombie/human asses, down a lethal amount of rum and whiskey out on the balcony, or pat him on the back when he is hurting. The only change I would have made is to have Gus a marlboro red man. Cigs go so well with booze after all. The only thing further I have to add is where is the line for the sequel and when is it coming out.
