Dominion: A Post Apocalyptic Thriller

I really enjoyed the idea behind this book. What would happen if all the animals in the world had enough of humanity and human arrogance and decided to reclaim the earth?
The book jumped a little too abruptly into action for my taste. I would have liked a bit more of an introduction leading up to the apocalypse. I also would have enjoyed a bit more character development. I had a hard time feeling anything for any of the characters. There were hints here and there of a character's whatever makes them tick but not enough to make me care for what happened to them.
That is only a personal preference and not a criticism of the book itself. If the book is taken as an action orientated apocalyptic novel in itself then it will definitely appeal show more to those who love the idea of animals finally fighting back to reclaim the earth. I really love the idea behind this book and am hoping there will be a second novel in the series with a bit more character development (I like to get emotionally involved with my characters :))

I liked the concept of this and it played out pretty well. I didn't really connect with any of the characters and I couldn't put my finger on why. It's something a bit different from your typical apocalypse tale and should appeal to fans of YA dystopian novels.

Dominion presents a different take on the apocalyptic theme: what if animals took over, mutated into savage beasts, hunting humankind into extinction!? The story follows a group of young people, brothers and their friends, as they leave their hiding place in search for some safer grounds or maybe other survivors. Of course, they have to face all kinds of horrible animal-monsters, and of course they have to deal with losses, but they also meet some new faces along the way.

Dominion read like a post-apocalyptic road-movie, but with zombies were replaced by mutant animals. The action was fast-paced and not squeamish at all, and there where a several losses to mourn. However, I found the interaction between the group members were the weakest show more link in the plot. Of course you have to keep in mind that the group consists of young adults, but their dialogue sometimes felt too immature for my liking.

[Dominion] by [Doug Goodman] was a fast paced adventure that I really did not want to put down. The concept that the natural order has been turned on it's head and suddenly humans are not the apex predator. The trek of a group of young people as they try to survive and find someplace safe keeps you wondering what will happen next. Not only do they have to fight the outside forces but the internal struggles within the group threaten to tear them apart. How much is survival worth?

Imagine Revolution meets The 100 and you have a book that you hate to see end. That's how Dominion is. Some kids thrown into a world no one understands, all the rules have changed. The game of life is just that, to live to see tomorrow. Not knowing what has happened and trying to figure it out along the way. Wondering whose alive or has passed on. The whole time heading North, but why North? They just know they must.....

To begin with, I was not sure if it would hold out. It had a good story line and characters. And it did better than i thought. Grab your ereader or paperback, cozy up with a blanket, and make sure your pets dont leave your line of vision.

I just tore through this book in just over a day! When household pets turn into weird creatures and turn on humanity. This is the first book I've read by Doug Goodman but it wouldn't be the last. This was very fast-paced and the action kept up. Very highly Recommended.

This was a totally different take on the end of the world as we know it. Mutant animals that can think and communicate telepathically. Made me look at my Rottweiler in a different light. Large insects that would scare the crap out of me. Hate insects. This is not a world I would like at all. I think it would make a good film. The CGI would be awesome. If you like end of the world books give this one a read.
