MEAT CAMP is a great, easy, fun read.What I like about Scott Nicholson is his ability to bring characters to life.  This short novel was no disappointment.  The sheriff has issues with courage, the locals don't respect him, Delphus is a sloppy coot, his daughter is trying to hang on to their property by using it as a camp for troubled teens, and there is a bad guy trying to buy up the land for condos.  Mix in some of Booger's tainted biscuits that turn one zombified and you have the makings of a cool story.  Nicholson and Warren did not fail us.The story is well edited and the prose is crisp with natural sounding dialogue.  The plot moves fast, as before I knew it, I was already 3/4 done.  Well done, guys, I really liked it!True, it's a bit campy, but that's the appeal.  It's not as gory as it could have been, but for this type of book, as Goldilocks said, it's just right.One scene has a boy caught in a barbed-wire fence with a zombie buddy jerking his trousers off that I found particularly chilling:"The strand cut off his air.  He screamed with all he had, which wasn't much, and hoped he would pass  out and die.Just let it be quick, he thought.It wasn't."I received this book in exchange for an honest review.  Scott Nicholson knows I always say what I feel and I never give a good review for a book I don't like.  Check some of the other reviews I have given Nicholson.  Not always so good.  This one is worth a read!
