4 1/2 StarsTagged is the first zombie book I read, and I found after reading it that I didn't dislike the genre. (I always thought I would.) Actually I very much liked this book. The premise was different - original. Chiron is quite clever in combining an apocalyptic tale with Armageddon in a dystopian setting. I enjoyed his interpretation and weaving into the story the Book of Revelation, including the mark of the beast. I always found the Book interesting and Chiron didn't disappoint in recreating the captivating elements of the prophecy. The mysteries of Revelation come alive in Tagged, even though I wouldn't classify it as a religious or Christian book. (Remember there are flesh-eating zombies involved). The many characters were distinct and realistic, and Chiron's descriptions were vivid and well-written. However, at times I found it hard to follow who was saying what and where characters were located, but that didn't distract from my enjoyment of the book.Tagged is a quick, fascinating story with enough excitement for you to get lost in, and to keep you turning the page. It's set-up as a stand-alone, but the book is so intriguing that it would make any reader want to know more about what happens. Maybe there'll be a sequel. If it were, I would certainly read it.Good book. I'd recommend it to anyone.
