REVIEW:
If I could sum it up in one word – meh. It was your average slash and dash zombie book. The content wasn't horrible, but I think the zombie story seems to be the same no matter what book you read. I personally am looking for something different and I just haven't found it yet.
The plus side of the book is that it was action packed. Everything seemed to tumble right along, and I found myself looking at each chapter as if it were a short story. The gore and creativity of killing the undead was good.
The down side for me and my personal tastes: I couldn't get a feel for any of the characters. There was a lack of a physical description for all of the characters, and it kept me from creating the image in my mind that would have me latching on to them. There were quite a few punctuation typos also that bothered me; I wasn't sure if it was just the download that I got or not. It made it difficult to read with missing quotations around dialect.
I think people who enjoy playing video games that pertain to killing zombies would enjoy this. There seemed to be an abundance of overzealous characters celebrating the apocalypse and the justified actions of killing people.
