Get Mountain Man (Mountain Man, #1) Constructed By Keith C. Blackmore Version

I'm done with zombies for a good while now, With the exception of "the Walking Dead" series, possibly,

"Mountain Man" was an absolutely mediocre, testosterone filled take on the post zombie apocalyptic world, adding nothing of interest, The main character Gus has barricaded himself in a house on a hillside outside a small town and lived alone there for two years, since the world zombified.
He drinks and hoards supplies,

During one of Gus's hoarding sessions, he saves Scott, who was left for dead by a serial killer, They now drink, hoard, are occasionally literally scared shitless, and kill zombies together, Until one day a woman enters the picture and changes everything, I could not care less, There were some attempts at making Scott and Gus less cardboard manly and more appealing, but I wasn't convinced, This left me cold. Boomstick. Samurai bat. Motorcycle leather. And the will to live among the unliving, Augustus Berry lives a daytoday existence comprised of waking up, getting drunk, and preparing for the inevitable day when "they" will come up the side of his mountain and penetrate his fortress.
Living on the outskirts of a city and scavenging for whatever supplies remain after civilization died two years ago, Gus knows that every time he goes down into undead suburbia could be his last.


Not only does he face a corpseinfested urban hell, human scavengers, and unending loneliness, but now a new mystery has risen, The undead are disappearing from the streets, A force is gathering, beyond the mountain man's wildest nightmares, even more relentless and terrifying than the roaming tides of dead flesh, And it's preparing to hunt, Mountain Man has been optioned for film, Contains graphic language and scenes of violence, stupendo!! oenso di nn aver mai letto sino ad ora un libro del genere dove ironia insieme ad ansia e terrore si intrecciano creando nel lettore una vera dipendenza.
. di libri Horror zombie ne avrò letti a centinaia , questi si posiziona in in cima!!! Mountain Man by Keith C, Blackmore is a story about the few remaining survivors fight against a zombie pandemic, It follows the main character, Gus who found himself a secluded dwelling away from the city full of zombies and spends the entire book being drunk and driving around the main city.


I found this book to be mediocre at best, boring at worst, It didnt have much substance in terms of a plot other than the main character driving and shooting zombies, I definitely get that this was meant to be gritty and realistic but by the end of the book I was just tired

and slightly grossed out by the descriptions of stuff I personally dont care to read in any book, even gritty post apocalyptic zombie novels.
There is only so many times a main character can scratch his balls or defecate in a weird place before it becomes tedious to read, At times the writing felt more like the author was trying to engage me as the reader simply by using shock value rather than developing an interesting plot line.
Unfortunately I dont think this book had any redeeming qualities for me but it seems like other have enjoyed it which is great!

I gave this bookout ofas I didnt enjoy it but I didnt hate it so much that I refused to finish.
Thank you to Netgalley and the author for giving me the opportunity to read and review this novel, This one was painful

I'll tell you why, and I'm not going to use a spoiler tag because spoiling this book for you would be doing you a favor.
Here's a pretty accurate timeline used in this book:

Get up in the morning,
Drink rum.
Go scavenging for supplies,
Fight a few zombies,
Go back home.
Take a few celebratory shots of Captain Morgan's,
Get drunk and play Scrabble,
Go to bed.
Repeatx.
The end.

Some really, really stupid things that drove me crazy while reading:
, There's a billboard with a semi driven through it, . . in nearly every scene written during scavenging events,
. Yellow grass. Yellow grass. We get it the fucking grass is yellow, Did I mention there's yellow grass
, In this "zombie" book, there are more references to alcohol than zombies, Drinking at home. Leaving the house for supplies, . . one of which is ALWAYS alcohol, "Hey we made it home alive, Let's take a few shots!" "Oh, look, . . a fucking bird LET'S GET DRUNK!"
. Toilet paper. Obviously at the very top of everyones apocalypse list, Top two items scavenged alcohol and toilet paper, Nevermind the real survival shit, We need toilet paper.
. He takes a dildo from someones house and he hasn't seen a woman in over two years Seriously Does he have some sick fetish we don't know about Nope.
Instead, he uses it on a woman he's only known for a day and a half, "Oh, I almost forgot uh what's your name again Ah, nevermind, Picked this up while foraging for rum and shit paper, Bend over!" Fucking retarded.

This is a rinse/repeat book with no thought put into it whatsoever, You're told at the beginning of the book that a character wants revenge on a killer who took the lives of "two people he knows", but he makes ZERO effort to get said revenge.
Instead, in the last few chapters, he THEN leaves to look for the "bad guy" and then the book ends,

I can't imagine sitting through another carbon copy of this book where the only difference is the town name,

Holy shit, this book drove me nuts,
Excellent zombie novel. Plot is cliche, but well executed, This is one of those rare books that keeps the reader guessing at what will happen next with a knot in your stomach, That is the feeling you have while reading it and the same feeling remains when you finish the last page, Although it is a story in itself, and a great one, you just know that there MUST be a sequel, Other than being open ended, it reminds me of sitelinkI am Legend in many ways, but this is a modernized and Canadiafied version with a punch.
It hits you in the gut and then twists your entrails, Be sure to have a stiff drink on the nightstand when you delve into this zombiefest of fear and seemingly hopeless survival in a world of the undead.
If all the zombie apocalypse books written these days were as good as this one, I never would have felt the need to write my own, It seems that Mr. Blackmore and I are creating parallel worlds, even using the same names for some of our characters and many of the same survival tactics and tools, but on opposite ends of the same continent.
How could I not simply love this story
