The most obvious is that the journal format has been completely abandoned. With the final chapter of the trilogy now out, we’re seeing some even more drastic changes. I didn’t like it as much of the original, but it was still a fun read. Instead of regular people surviving on their own, we get top secret government conspiracies, huge battles, and a bit of spy stuff. The sequel – Beyond Exile – turned things up quite a bit. Things got a little crazy in Day by day Armageddon, but it was fairly grounded considering the scope of the story. There’s a reason the tone of the book sounds so realistic this guy lives the life, and it comes through beautifully on the page. Bourne, is also a military officer, and likely a firearms enthusiast. It really added to the story because that capable, direct voice was incredibly believable for this particular character. Furthermore, it’s told in journal format, so we get everything in his voice. He acts decisively and is able to think both tactically and strategically about zombie survival. He’s a military officer and a firearms enthusiast. Instead, we get an incredibly capable man who was actually prepared for some sort of disaster. In most zombie stories, you end up with a group of regular people with no particular skills trying to survive and usually failing. When I read the original Day by Day Armageddon, it was like something I’d seen before.
