** CONTAINS NO SPOILERS **Okay, I am a HUGE fan of the whole post-apocalyptic and /or zombie genres; if you are not, you may not want to rely solely on my review.When I came across this title I almost laughed out loud. Zombies AND a trailer park? Come on, this is too good to be true! I decided before I even read the description of the book that I had to have it in my library. I actually got it for free because I'm an Amazon Prime member. However, I would have happily paid $3.99 for it.I absolutely LOVE this book! It is one of the best zombie books I have ever read. The characters are all unique, especially the strange ones. You know that feeling you get when you're reading and come across a character that is exactly like the guy that sacks your groceries and has a slightly lazy eye that always seems to be looking at YOU? Or that weird kid in your 5th grade class who wiped boogers under his desk and ate his scabs? Or the weird uncle that always stands a little too close, talks a little too loudly, and still lives in his mother's basement at age 43? This book is full of people like that.There's plenty of normal, relatable characters also. But remember, even "normal" people have quirks, too!The story moves along like any other in its genre--some mysterious "incident" creates hordes of undead that are hungry for living flesh. Any survivors must fight through the madness if they have any desire to live. There's plenty of blood and gore and death. I'm oversimplifying, of course, but I don't want to give too much away. Suffice it to say, the book has a great plot and is worth reading.What is different about this zombie book is that it takes place in a TRAILER PARK! (Ok, I'm poking fun at trailer parks, but don't judge me. I've lived in at least 3 trailers during my life. One of them even got hit by a tornado!)All-in-all, I wholeheartedly recommend this book.P.S. I'm kind of obsessive-compulsive about grammar and spelling. However, since getting my Kindle (and Kindle apps), I've had to learn to be more forgiving. A disturbing amount of e-books contain an astounding number of grammar and spelling mistakes. I'm sorry to say that "Valley of Death, Zombie Trailer Park" has its share of grammatical errors, mostly concerning the comma. But this book is so good, I DON'T EVEN CARE!!! A good book is a good book because of its words (even the occasional misspelled word), not because of punctuation.●●●THANK YOU, WILLIAM BEBB, for a most enjoyable read! I read your preface and closing thoughts. It prompted me to start reviewing the books I read--especially the ones in which the author requests it. I'm just getting started with my reviews, but I sincerely hope they help both authors and readers. Again, thanks for an awesome book.●●●
