I'm soooo mad at my book club for recommending me this one. I know, I know, I should have read the title and known better, but it was on special for 20 cents, and I want my 20 cents back!!
Alright, so the book actually had a potentially good plot. Felix was an Iraq soldier who's platoon accidentally killed what they though was four insurgents but turned out to be a family of four including a 12 yr old girl. An encounter in Iraq give Felix the gift/curse of immortality as the undead. Even I must admit that the first few chapters were pretty good. Back home in the states, Felix is still affected and is trying to pay penance for his war-time sins. The former infantryman works as a detective and is asked to investigate a case at a government facility in Rocky Flats, Colorado. Sounds like a decent read right? Not.
I feel no remorse for spoiling the end to this garbage. I'm still pissed that I wasted two hours of my time reading this waste of paper and ink. Let's just say that little green men and UFO's...not my cup of tea. I don't know why the author went so horribly wrong in the last 7 or so chapters. It turns out that there's some weird chemical from a UFO that was part of a government cover-up conspiracy that turns the people in Rocky Flats into nymphomaniacs because of alien invasion. Yeah....anyways, the proceeding ratings should be of no surprise to anyone. I want a refund! Damn you book club!
Characters: 2/5
Plot: COULD have been a 4/5, but thanks to the ending, 1/5
Interest rating: None. Zip, zero, nil.
Overall rating: Refer to the finger I'm giving my book club and the author
