A picture says so many things and I give the choice of book cover applause, asides that, I’d say the storyline is a very good one except for the fact that there were one or two errors in regards to editing, I would give the book a 3 out of 4 stars rating.

It's a fantastic apocalyptic tale that keeps the reader engaged. There is a wonderful balance between action scenes and world-building in this novel that I really liked from the first page onwards. Some of the personalities are a little too lifelike for my tastes, while others are referenced much too often. For a few pages, I could quickly explore their lives, but Mike L. Junior has given them more complexity than most authors would implant in the protagonist of a series. This novel has so many potential for the future that it made me feel nervous. I rate it three out of four stars.

The story sounds interesting, but I am finding myself repeating some parts just to try understand because of the many errors in the book. This really discourages someone from reading. As I read, I was keen on trying to find the meaning of the letters XYZ at the end of the chapters, well, I didn't succeed in that.

I enjoyed the storyline of this book. Unfortunately, the errors I encountered did not make me enjoy the book. I feel the writer could have done better by doing a thorough proofreading. I do not rate this book highly as a result.

I had a tough time reading because the book is filled with errors. I think the technical editing team still has a lot of job to do. The storyline is not so intriguing to me. However I found the book cover to be very fitting

The cover page will haunt me for many nights. It is intense and scary. Just like all the other reviewers, I was not impressed with the huge amount of errors in this book. I'm confused as to how this book made it to the book of the month. I wouldn't suggest this book for anyone. It needs one deep level of proofreading.
Coming to the story, the profanities created a big negative feeling and the plotline wasn't fascinating. Cole's life needs more flavor.
Hope the next book will be more interesting with fewer errors.

As a lover of futuristic post apocalyptic books, I really enjoyed this novel but the errors made it hard to read and because of that, I rate it a 3 out of 4 stars. It could definitely do with another round of editing.

I think the book is very interesting considering the futuristic ideas that the author has. It's always good to understand an author's perspective of things and in this case, it was quite easy despite the multiple errors it had which was a major downside about the book.

This book is really cool. I liked the bleak, post-apocalyptic setting and the idea that only 1% of people survived and made a new society. Even though they have a chance to start over, the new world is not good, and I can believe that. I rate it three out of four stars.

The book was enjoyable but with too many typos and errors. It could have been a much better book if the author had tried to get a better editor. I would rate this book 2 out of 4 stars.

I didn't really like the book, I think it had way too much profanity, and it was not necessary. I have read dystopian novels before and books about vengeance, and none of those books combined had so much profanity. But I did like the plot, I think it was intriguing and has potential, but between the errors, the annoying characters, and the profanity I would give this book 2 out of 4 stars.

WatchDogs Abnormal Beginnings by Mike L Junior is an interesting book with an intriguing storyline. I would love to think that it has some similarities with the recent COVID Pandemic. Anyway, Mike L Junior did a great job with the book but I feel that the characters are too realistic and over mentioned.

There are so many editing errors that could be checked to make it a better book. The book is however engaging, well-structured, and entertaining. The cover of the book is also very attractive to the eye and speaks volume about the storyline.

This was my first post-apocalypse book I have read and I wasn't disappointed at all.

I rate this book 3 out of 4 stars. The plot was kind of confusing and the book wasn't well-edited. It contained errors.

From what I read I would give it a 3 out of 4 stars because it had a lot of errors. It was still easy to read and the plot was gripping. A lot of thought was put into explaining how they became abnormal in the story. I liked how the author described technology in a futuristic way and how it evolved.

I actually became interested in reading this book when I saw the lovely cover. However, I got devastated while reading it upon finding numerous errors that could not be overlooked. This made me lose interest in the book.
