Zombie Day Care (Impact #1)

Craig Halloran (Goodreads Author)
"He had dozed off, feeling safe and exhausted, in the middle of nowhere. He laid his head back, just for a second, listening to the madness on the satellite radio. America has fallen! Russia has fallen! The Middle East has fallen! He fell asleep.

The story starts off a little absurd, Zombies can be subdued my Mountain Dew. It then jumps forward to a time where zombie children are kept in maximum security 'day care' centers where a team work to find a cure.
The tale is rather uneven, and jumps around a bit. The character that started it all is simply removed with no further effect on others until the final page, and even then it is nothing more than a side point in an attempt to round things off. Where the main storyline comes from is rath...more

This novel is about a potential zombie apocalypse that is thwarted by the discovery that feeding them caffeinated and sugery drinks will suppress their hunger and instinct to kill (unique take). It starts out during the midst of the zombie take-over with one of the main characters running away from his zombie girlfriend. He can't stand to kill her so by accident he ends up giving her "Fountain Dew" and finds that she stops trying to kill him. With his last battery he tweets the discovery and sav...more

I won this book in the Goodreads First Reads Giveaway. I didn't know what to think of this when I started reading, but I ended up enjoying it. The book begins with the zombies taking over and one man, Nate, accidently discovering that "Fountain Dew" calms them. Thus, Fountain Dew becomes the zombie tamer and Nate becomes a hero. The book then jumps forward about 10 years when the zombies have all been either captured or killed. There are now "zombie day cares" which house zombie children and sci...more
The following is a First Reads Giveaway Winner review:
Well let's see, the question posed is, "What did you think?" First I would like to say thank you to the author for the autographed edition of this book. Now here is where I feel obligated to be brutally honest. The story line is not bad so I believe the problem lies in how the story was written. This would at best be considered fair writing from a high school student. I really do not know what else there is to say. Very thin on character or p...more

*NOTE: This is my husband, Seth's, review as he is helping me with my gigantic review pile.*
In this take on the zombie apocalypse genre, the zombies didn’t succeed in taking over the world. It seems however, that they put a fairly large dent in the human population. So much that security forces are apparently barebones operations. Enter in the politicians. They had loved ones who got infected and needed care. Young loved ones. So, what does one do with a bunch of zombified children? Well, you se...more

I hate all zombie, books movies references! THAT BEING SAID, I LOVE THIS BOOK, GREAT JOB, you've turned me to the other side. Lol. I found an exerpt in the darkslayer book and got hooked, a very refreshing take on an overdone subject, I applaud you.
Excuse all (sp) mistakes I'm tired of checking the checker.

Zombie Day Care has a lot of story in a short novel. Halloran has a fantastic ability to create characters that you become invested in from the start. Zombie Day Care explores the gnawing question of how to deal with a zombie loved one.
A different take on the usual zombie story. Fun to read; the last third of the book lacked focus, for me, as the story seemed hurried and characters weren't further developed.
The more I think about this book, the more I enjoyed reading it.
The story jumps around a lot and at times is hard to follow.

I'm a writer. I do it every single day. Stephen King says that's how you get good at it. Reading everyday is a big plus too. Writing is a business and an outlet of creativity to me. I love TV, but you don't create jack squat by sitting around and watching it.
