Review: Excellent Characters - Nothing new in concept
Rating: 4 out of 5

This book is a standout for zombie novels.  The author did not break any new grounds in concepts but the character developments and pacing is excellent.  The actions and reactions are realistic.  I appreciate that there were no amazing super humans with incredible shooting skills in here.  After all, some readers are normal people who have never even seen a gun.The story originates in a small town in Pennsylvania and imagines what the start of a zombie apocalypse would be like from patient zero.  The stories bounces from local officials to the average man.  We also get glimpses of the characters' history to build emotional connection.There is nothing new in the storyline that you wouldn't have seen in hundreds of other zombie novels but I would recommend the book.  It's well written and an enjoyable read.
