Finished reading Paul Tremblay's Survivor Song last night. I give it 2 out of 5 stars. It's basically a zombie story, and I think they're clichés. And I don't like novels with few scenes—this one felt like a three-act play. Plus, one of the characters, Natalie, was incredibly unlikable; though, Tremblay did do a good job with the language of her British doctor friend, and his characterization of conspiracy theorists was spot on. Plus, I didn't know if a pregnant woman is dead for more than four minutes, her baby won't make it. Last time I'll read a book due a glowing New York Times book review and Stephen King tweeting positively the book . . . when will I learn he's a great writer but his taste in books is sometimes suspect.
