This book was gifted to me for an honest review.I consider myself a pretty big fan of the zombie genre. I love to be surprised and drawn into a story for the human, emotional angle rather than the gory, blood splattering, body-parts-flying kind of story—although I’m all for that, too, and this book delivered both sides.I’ll admit that I didn’t always like Kyle, but he grew on me. He had some issues and he didn’t always react in a way that were in his best interests. Then again, he was in the middle of a zombie apocalypse, so that could be forgiven. There were some female characters, and I really liked that they were strong and they were fighters. Gnarly painted a picture of a world in the throes of destruction that seemed realistic, and very eerie.While there was one small inconsistency, that was easily overlooked as it was only a minor slip. The writing style was unique in that point of view jumped from character to character, and also from past to present and back again. Once I got the hang of it, it was a pretty interesting way to tell a story.I liked this book, and I’ll be looking for more books from this author. (Maybe even a sequel? hint, hint…)
