Review: Who'd of thunk?
Rating: 4 out of 5

I am not a zombie person. The whole idea of zombies is ridiculous. And unnecessarily violent. And nauseating. Yes, well, you get my meaning. Me: not zombie material. So, I dont know why I picked it up. It was a free ebook and, for one reason or another, I guess I was feeling a little down-load happy, and I snagged it up.So... Given that I am a non-zombie person, why did I give this book 4 stars? Simple. The author had me on the first page. He managed to make zombies, or zombie-ism, not only believable (for once), but he made the violence necessary, and the nausea worthwhile.There were a few moments where developments in the story were almost painfully contrived, and this is what kept the book from being a 5-star winner. But the author's overall voice and his action/adventure plot twists kept me reading and reading. Before you knew it, the story was over. But not really over. It is a zombie book, remember? It could never really be over, now could it?
