Ummm....When I started reading Old World I thought, 'Okay, another zombie story.'  But, this one is so much more than just another zombie tale.Even at the beginning, when we are first introduced to the Locklear family and their fight to survive the Deathwalker virus as a family, the zombies take a back seat to the family and their tale.  Without becoming maudlin, Mr Kennedy helps us to see how this family changed to survive their world, becoming killers themselves, hopefully without losing their humanity.The story begins to take a turn when their young daughter Ellie becomes sick, and the family realizes that they must find help.  An eerie radio signal, and the dying words of an old man, lead them to the hospital in Ravenswood, where they hope to find the salvation that they need for her.  Salvation is the opposite of what they find there.This is a horror story, and one that will keep you enthralled from page one all the way to the end.  I literally did not put it down until I was done.  I am so excited to read the next book in the series!
