I am a zombie story addict and all together now was really good. It's told in diary from from the viewpoint of Ricky, a 15 year old survivor, trying to get to a soda factory to get the cure for his bitten younger brother (this is all told in the first chapter)At times funny, heartbreaking, full of action, full of introspection, this is an excellent entry into the zombie genre. Ricky's voice rings true, not to goody two shoes, not to immature or mature. His obituary page to his classmates and how they died was really clever.The action, interspersed with introspection, Ricky's back story, the story of why the zombie outbreak occurred, the "cure," his relationship with his step sister who he is escaping with, it all melds together in a really moving book.Highly recommend this one!
