Kyle West

I'm a huge fan of 'end of the world' type of movies, love dystopia, yet I don't really read 'end of the world' books. So I was thrilled to snag this book for free from amazon and began reading it immediately.

It's a fast, quick read - fairly short - and took me about 90 minutes to read.

There's some grammatical errors and the book is in need of a better editor. Large portions of the book just seemed written by an amateur, and the premise is lacking. The author, West, does a lot of "telling" in the book instead of "showing", and leaves a lot open to the imagination instead of really setting the scene for us.

There's a fair mix of genres in the book - end of the world, zombies, meteors, bad guys, action, etc. There's not really any new ideas or themes, but all in all, it's not a bad read (especially for free).

I won't be buying the rest of the series, but would probably read the next one if I could pick it up for free again.… (més)

The Wasteland Chronicles -Book 1, 2 & 3 The Wasteland Chronicles Omnibus by Kyle West includes the first 3 books of a 7 book series. The first three books are -Apocalypse, Origins & Evolution. All three books are fantastic! It's about a post-apocalyptic world after the U.S. was hit by this huge meteor called Ragnarok that also carried a deadly virus called Xenovirus. As the virus spreads, the survivors that were living in Bunkers have been forced to live in the harsh wasteland. This was really another pleasant surprise that I found in the Kobo store. It's pretty action packed and the pacing is on point and the stories are good lengths-not too long, not too short. Another good thing about it is - it's free! The first three books, The Wasteland Chronicles Omnibus, are actually free so if you like dystopia/post-apocalyptic survival stories you should check it out. I know Amazon & Kobo both have it.… (més)

A really great start of a series! I'll definitely be continuing on to book #2!… (més)
