18 of 18 people found the following review helpful. AWESOME!!!!! By Carol Lampkin The first thing that I will tell a potential reader is that this book is not for the individual who is easily offended by profanity. However, if profanity either does not bother you or if you can take it for what it is and let it build the character as he was meant to be portrayed, then you are in for a great ride. As you may gather by the title, this is in a journal format. With this in mind, do not expect to get your traditional story. Do not expect to discover why things are the way they are. For the most part you are getting one man's perspective of one hell of a messed up world he finds himself in. You're living in this world with him, if only for a little while. And once you are finished... you find yourself wanting back in. As masochistic as that may sound, it is the truth. I love how Charles Dudley recalls an event or series of events and then almost steps back and discusses how it affected him and the raw emotions evoked... not that he sits and talks about his feelings, but the way that he relays the facts, the internal struggles bleed through and... you just feel it. The jumping around doesn't bother me very much. At least not like with other authors/stories. I think that it is because each "journal" entry is so bold, so complete, that I don't feel the NEED to "connect the dots." It doesn't need to flow together completely... to do so would seem wrong in some way. No, it is perfect as is in my opinion.
12 of 12 people found the following review helpful. Real, raw, and gripping By Colby Zoeller Trying to figure out how to write this review took a lot of thought. I'm Not Dead: The Journals of Charles Dudley is difficult to review, because reviews by nature are comparative, and I have never read anything like this before. The closest thing for me to compare this to is Richard Matheson's I am Legend, which is one of my all time favorites. I'm Not Dead, however has a much more real and identifiable feel to it. It is written the way my brain works, meaning it can sound fancy when it wants to, but most often it skews more toward vulgarity and self-interest. In other words, you won't find anything else like this at Barnes & Noble. Huzzah for the self publishing trend as it has delivered us yet another talented author! I'll address the language first to get it out of the way. This is not a book for the easily offended. Packed front to back with profanity, violence and rape, it is not something I would hand to my grandmother to read. I don't generally use a lot of profanity in my everyday life, but don't be mislead. My brain curses like a drunken sailor with a crippling case of Tourette's, and I found that my thoughts kind of echoed those of Dudley. That being said, through Charles Dudley's view of the vileness and horror that unfolds on New York City, Cabrera has crafted a gripping tale. This is not a post-apocalyptic tale of society rebuilding, nor is it a zombie tale, although the Deviants certainly have some zombie-ish traits. It's just the story of how one average everyman deals with the end of the world, or at least the end of his world. His wife left him and took his daughter with her. So what if Charlie drank a little too much. Now, as everything in New York City falls apart around him, he would give absolutely everything just to see his little girl again, and know that she's safe. By the half-way point of this book, I realized that I was not only completely identifying with the main character, but may actually be related to him. The hauntingly real experiences of Dudley's childhood and the way he reacts to the bizarre occurrences around him as an adult because of them ring so true, and many of them remind me of events from my own family's story. The entire story is written in Journal form, so instead of getting a narrative from some omniscient being who can explain away all of your questions, you get one man's view of the events unfolding around him filtered through the warped lens of his traumatic childhood. Through all of his faults, vices, and errors, Dudley truly tries to do what he thinks is the right thing, and is easily one of the most raw, believable characters I have ever read. He isn't afraid to write those thoughts that you and I might have, but never voice out of desire for social acceptance. It's his journal and he explores the ideas most normal people would repress and never admit to, because if anybody else is reading it, he must be dead. This was a phenomenal read and I am eagerly awaiting the sequel. The teaser at the end looks like the sequel will go in a very different direction, and as long as Artie Cabrera is driving, I am ready to head in whatever direction he wants to go. Lead on, sir!

As an author myself, I would love to get nothing but 5 stars every time but I also appreciate honest reviews with solid criticism. Since I know Artie a little bit I wasn't sure if I wanted to leave a review at all, but here it is.As an over-all story, it didn't do it for me. For whatever reason, I'm Not Dead didn't have that intangible quality that keeps me turning pages long after I intended to take a break. If I'm totally honest, by the end I was reading just to finish and to see what happens.If I had to place my finger on it, I would have to say it's the format of the book which is set up like a journal (duh). This is neither a good or bad thing but I guess I prefer a traditional story that flows from beginning to end. I found myself often flipping a few pages back to check the date to figure out when the journal entry happened and that pulled me out of the story.I was also confused by a few things. There is an "intermission" in the middle of the story with an option for the reader to skip. Not sure why that's an option. It's two related stories to the main story and possibly each other, but I'm not sure. I was assured it would "be continued," which I assumed would be later in the book, but it's not. I guess that's getting picked up in the next volume.At the end of the journal format of the book, there are a handful of third person narratives which I assume are related to Charlie's journal and what happened to the world, but again, I'm not entirely sure. At first I thought maybe it was a preview of a different book.Now...all that being said, I want to point out there is some brilliant and I mean FLIPPING BRILLIANT writing in this book. Throughout Charlie's journal are little nuggets - a paragraph here, a page there, a dialog exchange there, that are just dynamite. No doubt about it, Artie has some writing chops and he's got a very strong and natural talent.For me, this book just comes down to personal preference, I guess. Maybe I'm just tied of the end of the world and I should switch to romance novels for a while. It is very well written, I didn't notice any spelling, grammar, or formatting errors, and it's miles above much of the self published work out there.I hope Artie keeps writing and keeps putting out books because I'm Not Dead is a really solid debut he should be proud of. It may not be my cup of tea, but then again I'm the only person on the planet that hated The Hunger Games so maybe there is something wrong with me.
