I finished this book last night and enjoyed it immensely!  I gave only 4 stars because of the excessive amount of grammar errors.  Like you, I am not accustomed to always using perfect grammar and spelling.  Do you think you could perhaps have an editor read this over (Perhaps someone who writes a lot)?  Some teen agers are good proof readers, as most high schools require perfect grammar and spelling.  I did not make a note of every mistake...that would have just been weird.  However, I did find one word mistake that I would like to call to your attention.  I see this a lot as I am involved with funeral liturgies.  Somewhere in the book, I believe the first part; Alex is explaining how the dead have risen from their "internment".  The burying of the dead (usually with funeral rites) is "interment".  An example of "internment" would be what our government did to our Japanese citizens during WWII.  Like I said, I'm no expert at writing.  My career does demand me to write a lot.  Even if it is a quick email, I try to at least have the words spelled correctly and make certain my meaning is clear.  Well...having said all that, I really enjoyed your book.  Since The Walking Dead, AMC series and the comic books, I have become interested in the world of Zombies!  I thought your book was unique as the main characters decided to ride it out in their own homes, the way you introduced their world, and the "down home" feeling of the book.  I thought Alex's concern for his friends was typical of someone like him.  Your ideas remind me of a southern writer and now I see you live in Western Kentucky, my home state.  I have to say your book is my favorite Zombie book so far.  I like the way Alex is sharing this book obviously after the virus has been eradicated or at least more under control.  I was disappointed that I could not find the 2nd book in the series.  Are you about finished with that, ole boy!  I'll read it even with mistakes!!!!  You are creative, but you could cut down on the foul language...lol...THANK YOU for sharing your ebook.
