*Received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review*
Earth is a wasteland, its citizens scrambling off to save themselves. In this Dystopian world a half-human Dinosaur Hunter named Croctus Reptilius and his partner, Sawtooth, a mutant crocodile, hunt raptors for profit in the environmentally devastated Florida Everglades. When a dead time-traveler returns from the grave to warn Reptilius of a Zombie threat masterminded by a ruthless organization called "The Sect," Reptilius must seek for help. He turns himself towards a teenage girl with a deadly secret and an MI6 scientist. Both of these people possess skills that can help turn the tide, or, condemn Earth to a Zombie apocalypse from which there is no return.
What I realized by reading this book was that I hated zombies, that I despised crocodiles and that I didn't particularly like apocalypses either. If you've guessed that I speed read this book,well , you're right.
The writing felt very heavy in this one and it just didn't flow naturally. It needs more descriptions, less repetitions and less "choppiness" in general. The settings was very vague and I really didn't like the little random flashbacks of every single character throughout the book.
What I did like about this book was the time travelling and different realities. Uner added a different twist to an old classic and kind of made it his own. Although it wasn't too bad, I still didn't really understand how did no country intervene before Earth turned into Wall-E world...but you know, at least it teaches us about the consequences of environmental disasters.
