So I have been reading them all over and over trying to figure out which one was the most helpful to a would-be reader. (Even got one from one of my copywriting &#8220;heroes&#8221; Bob Bly, which completely made my day.)<\/p>\n<p>But, there can only be one winner.<\/p>\n<p>And, that winner is&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>My boy Yoav Ezer.<\/p>\n<p>So Yoav, come on down and claim your prize:<\/p>\n<p>Any product I sell.<\/p>\n<p>(Except the Email Players Playbook).<\/p>\n<p>Here is his &#8220;Zombie Cop&#8221; review:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>&#8220;Most satisfying book I&#8217;ve read in months&#8230;&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Zombie cop is like a Steven King novel meets &#8216;The Walking Dead&#8217; meets Grimm (only without the whining and endless tortured dialogs.)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Bought it on Thursday and was done by Friday night and&#8230; I would have finished earlier if it wasn&#8217;t for work and having to eat every once in a while.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Here&#8217;s what&#8217;s freaking awesome about this book:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>1. The fight scenes &#8211; every chapter has at least one (very graphic) fight scene. And there are a couple of epic battles which left me very satisfied.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>2. The characters &#8211; Get ready for a &#8216;game of thrones&#8217; experience. Ben builds up magnificent characters. They are either lovable, fun characters or giant turds and then he proceeds to kill them without remorse. Also&#8230; For some reason, Ben has a solid understanding of the teenage mind although I&#8217;m pretty sure that chronologically he is way past this age.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>3. The mythology &#8211; The book seems like an opening to a saga of books that will culminate in an epic, violent battle between the forces of good and the forces of evil (Yummy.)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>4. The atmosphere &#8211; Very reminiscent of a Steven King book. You constantly have a feeling that something bad is going to happen.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Now&#8230; this book is not for everyone&#8230;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>If you don&#8217;t like scary TV shows like &#8216;The Walking Dead&#8217; or hard core action movies like 300, then you will absolutely hate this book. Really &#8230; do yourself a favor and avoid this book. It will make you vomit. Guaranteed!!!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>But if you were smiling continuously during 300 (like I was)&#8230; then you owe it to yourself to read this book.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Hoowa!<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>To check the novel out, lurch on over to&#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.BenSettle.com\/zombie\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>www.BenSettle.com\/zombie<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Ben Settle<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today&#8217;s the &#8220;Zombie Cop&#8221; most-helpful-review contest deadline.
