I was hooked after the first two pages.  I got the Kindle version of Year One, which is the first two books combined.  I'm amazed at how Guess sucked me in and made me care, even though I knew it was fiction.  He delves into the more human aspects of dealing with the zombie apocalypse -- loss, grief, friendship, pride, and the importance of survival.  It is in blog format, but we hear from several different characters, each with his or her own unique perspective.If you're looking for a gory story with violence just for entertainment's sake, you won't find it here.  Sure, there are descriptions of death and violence, but it's about so much more.  It's about rebuilding society when everything has been lost.  It's about reconnecting with others and ensuring the survival of the human race.
