This book is a mixture of great talent, excellent character development and horrible grammar.  It's worth reading if, and it's a big if, you can ignore or dismiss the huge number of grammatical and spelling errors.  The characters are amazingly well written, it is very easy to get invested in their stories.  The structure of the book itself is a little confusing.  However I surprised myself by continuing to read it because Mr. Gilman's talent for storytelling definitely comes through. He's a very, very talented author that simply needs to work on his craft a bit more.Two suggestions for Mr. Gilman, first get yourself a good editor.  Not so much for sentence structure but definitely for word usage and spelling.  Second, try having someone beta read the book.  I think you do a great job telling the story, it simply needs to be organized better.Recommendations, don't read this book if spelling and grammar mistakes make you crazy because there are many of them.  Do read this book if you like stories about the apocalypse that follows ordinary people and how they try to survive.  Do read this book if you are seeking a new author that has a great storytelling talent and doesn't use it for zombie books.  Personally I will probably buy future books by this author, and potentially become a huge fan, if he makes the books a little easier to read through better organization and editing.
