*I was given a copy of this book for free, in exchange for an honest review.Zombies are running loose in Canada.  The local police and sent out to quarantine.  But as all infections go, they spread.  One zombie turns into two, two into four, four into eight and so on.  How is Canada and the rest of the world supposed to fight off this horrible virus that is spreading and not die trying to figure it out?I love a good zombie story and this book did NOT fail to deliver what it promised.  This book is written thru the views of several different people; a police officer, military personnel, mayor and other city officials, and a hockey player.  They each have their own perspective of what is happening and how they need to survive.The world wide updates and blurbs of other people were amazingly written.  Some of those mini stories were hard to read.  The world wide information and how some of the other countries dealt with all the zombies was amazing.The characters are well written.  I found the stories of Dan, the police officer and Xander, the hockey player to be the best.  There were things about the story that made me think twice about the fall of society.  Like would taxi cabs still be running with zombies roaming the streets?  Or would Dan and Ed the Police Officers not break down when their lives are affected in a personal way?  I would have liked to have seen Dan and Ed a little more emotional about certain situations.  But otherwise, I loved the people who Mr. Friesen brought to life.  In the same breathe, I was glad to see that Mr. Friesen didn't sugar coat things, bad things happen to good people.  It's all in how you deal with it that matters.After reading this book, I will never look at Costco's as just a big food warehouse.  This is now, a chance for survival.  I'm looking forward to Second Period.I have to say, I hope Donald and Evelyn get bitten in the second book.
