Like the other reviews, if you read them, I was entranced by an excerpt of the first chapters in Mr. DeCoteau's other works.  What captured my attention was Don Carver's daily plan to visit the can, at his appointed time.  Today's visit will be different - there be zombies out there.  How many other zombie books tell you how to escape from the stall in the men's room when there is a zombie waiting and hungry?  This experience tells Don zombies ain't too smart.Don of the Dead takes the journey of Don trying to protect his loved ones in a full blown epidemic of zombies.  Don, who seems not to give a damn about a lot, learns the meaning of love and protection for those around him.  The idea of being a hero doesn't even appeal to him, just doing what you can to get things done, get your loved ones to safety.  When the need comes for a dangerous mission back to zombie zero point to help the rest of the world: gulp, think about the negative column, then lock and load.Robert DeCoteau's work is excellent with nary a sour note.  His characters are well written and very human.  In my impression, he is one very fine writer.  Give him the love, I know he would appreciate it.
