Doomsday: Apocalypse: A Post-Apocalyptic Survival Thriller by Bobby AkartMy rating: 1 of 5 stars
Here’s a first for me. I’m going to let this one speak for itself. Enjoy. Sob.
“They finally stopped as their progress toward the front of the ball-drop stage appeared before them.”
As their progress appeared, WHAT? Huh?
“Tyler laughed and slid her hand onto his butt. ‘Feel that? Still dry after the twenty-story drop on the Nitro ride.’”
Fifth time this grown man and father of two has referenced soiling himself. OMG.
“He looked over to his first officer, who didn’t appear to be physically injured, but only limp as a result of fainting.”
The plane just CRASHED INTO THE WATER. You are STRAPPED into the pilot seat. The copilot is only limp as a result of fainting? Oh Good GOD
“‘Jim, catch me! I can’t—arrrggghhh!’ Her body suddenly twisted on the pipe and she sailed downward.”
She was on her way to her death, 45 floors below, and she decides to TALK LIKE A PIRATE? There are no words. No. Words.
“With the last final thrust, his boot and leg pushed through the glass”.
Last final? LAST FINAL? ::shaking my damn head::
“‘Will wiped some more blood off his son’s face and then folded it over.’”
Wait. Wait. He folded his son’s FACE? Wouldn’t that, you know, hurt?
“The collapse caused a chain reaction that looked like it was straight out of a Three Stooges movie, except it wasn’t funny.”
This is just bad on so many levels.
“Without going into unnecessary details right now, but a lot has happened on the East Coast this evening, and it’s all hands on deck for first responders and our Coast Guard.”
No. No. Seriously. Just. Just read that one again.
“He told the story of Paul Revere to his sister and the importance of the Liberty Tree.”
I....yeah..... ::sigh:: Jesus be an editor.
“Finally, he applied Polysporin ointment rather than the more commonly used Neosporin. They both had the same active ingredients except Neosporin also contained neomycin, which had been associated with allergic reactions and contact dermatitis.”
Voted most random piece of information EVER. Why? Just. WHY?
So there you have it. This is just a brief glimpse into the world of author Bobby Akart: where grammar, spelling and punctuation rules cease to exist; where the first 45% (FORTY FIVE PERCENT) of a novel is unnecessary background information; and where conclusions of any kind fear to tread.
I give up. It’s a one. A ONE. ⭐️
