Review: Solid Action Packed Zombie Fiction
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 07 2, 2014
It's taken me awhile to find a decent zombie novel (I've read a lot recently that seriously disappointed me), and Slow Burn is the book that finally broke the losing streak.  For starters, the outbreak backstory was unique and clearly written.  I usually like the source of the whole mess to be a mystery, but this author succeeded in creating a solid origin that worked with the overall story line.The action was extremely well paced and showed the infection spreading/escalating through the eyes of police officers and some civilians.  I became invested in the story and interested in seeing how various characters were going to react to the growing crisis.  While I do recommend this book to any zombie/horror fan, I couldn't give the book a solid 5 star rating because of some of the characterizations.  There were some overly macho know it all characters that just distracted me and made it hard to enjoy some parts of the book.
