To be honest, I didn't really like this book until I was about a third of the way through.  I thought some of the story line was implausible, but as I got deeper into the material, my opinion changed.  This book is one of the best out there in terms of addressing the practical aspects of organizing a new community after society has collapsed.  At first, I was a disappointed over the relative lack of set up, but the story came into its own when the author, Josh Guess, began exploring the critical aspects of how a community comes together without central authority after a disaster.  The characters struggled, not only against the zombies, but also against themselves and other humans who allowed their baser natures to prevail under the stress generated by the Zombie Apocalypse.  This book is fresh, well-written and interesting.
