I’ll be the first to admit the idea of zombies has been a fairly newer interest of mine.  I was sucked in a bit when my husband and I attended the 2013 Chicago Auto Show and there was an exhibit featuring- you guessed it- zombies along with a zombie car.  Then a few months later, we saw Brad Pitt in World War Z and my love of zombie books and movies unfolded.When I saw the reviews for Zombie Night in Canada I was eager to read it.  This book was originally bought as another of my “train reads” for my Chicago commute but that plan went out the window right away and I found myself reading in the car when my husband picked me up at the train station and at home.I noticed one review, while favorable, didn’t quite care for the amount of detail in the beginning of the book.  I’m the opposite- pile on the details please and the author did so beautifully.The story opens with a new strain of rabies causing people to turn into zombies.  There’s chaos on the streets and people are surging into stores buying up supplies like crazy.Then we are presented with the thought, from several people, is this really being caused by rabies?The chaos that unfolds takes you on a roller coaster fast read and I suggest you just simply settle in with this book and try to read straight through as you won’t want to put it down.
