#444 ~ The Island: Fallen Earth Part 3

The Island: Part Three by Michael Stark

My rating: 4 of 5 stars




Book 3 of  Fallen Earth Series



Book 3 of the serialisation picks up a bit.

I'm loath to give too much in the way of a spoilers but, the fever continues on it destructive path and they try to survive on the island.

With the arrival of a stranger and something evil the whole plot picked up a bit.

The missing 'C' formatting continued in this book. There was also an increase the in the Errors/Bug Bears. I'm not sure if this might be because the author was concentrating on picking up the pace , or if it had a different editing team?

Errors/Bug Bears

In which the mystery of the missing 'C' continues, and gotten makes an appearance.

My other main bone of contention was the fact that the Author couldn't decide how he wished to spell one woman's name - Marce or Marcy?  I do like consistency from an author.

Other than that:

Loc 121:  Ebola needed new a victim - a new.

Loc 865: ... willing to supply them if we come get them - come and get (coordinating conjunctions make me happy).

Loc 1133:  ... while I go grab a few things - go and grab (coordinating conjunctions make me happy).



Happy reading.

#443 ~ The Island: Fallen Earth Part Two

The Island: Part Two by Michael Stark

My rating: 3 of 5 stars





Part 2 of The Fallen Earth Series




This is a continuation of The Island: Fallen Earth Serialisation.

For me it just wasn't quite so good.

With the pandemic growing worse, and civil unrest our protagonist makes it to the Island, taking the old woman and her creepy grandson with him ... I won't say much more, otherwise I could spoil the plot.

The pace and characterisation with just a little weaker, which mean't I sometimes lost focus. Keep with if you can though.

There was odd formatting issue, whereby the 'C' in Chapter was missing for most of the book.

Errors/Bug Bears

The 'C' in Chapter was missing for most of the book - this is probably some kind of format issue.

Other than that, the only real issue was:

Loc 1410:  It felt like trying to pushing two different sacks of flour with a rope tied between them ... - try to push.


Happy reading

#441 ~ The Island (Fallen Earth) : Part One

The Island: Part One by Michael Stark

My rating: 4 of 5 stars





Part #1 in the Fallen Earth Series



This was an interesting diversion for me, I've never really read a serialisation before.

On the whole this first part was fairly enjoyable, with a decent plot pace and characterisation. I enjoyed the building of the main character, William Hill.  In particular, I enjoyed the little scene with the 'Little' cop.

The idea of a pandemic is no so far fetched, and it's interesting to consider just how modern man would cope with the withdrawal of its spoon-fed lifestyle.

As an aside, the cover art is very well drawn, and it was what drew me to feature it as a DSOA on the blog in April 2013.

There were one or two bug bears/errors, but nothing major, and on the whole I enjoyed the first part of this journey.

Gotten more time than I care to count - is it just me?

Loc 65:  There was some bizarre font going on with "The" in "The war of words, which was just a tiny bit jarring - yes, I am Miss Nit Pick 2014.

Loc 626:  The Durango into slid easily into one of those long ....


Happy reading.
