Review: A very personal zombie apocalypse
Rating: 4 out of 5

My first impression of this book was that it needed editing. After finishing it, I changed my mind. It's the journal of a short order cook, watching her world crumble in a zombie apocalypse as she's waiting to die. Perfect grammar and sentence structure would have been completely out of place. In fact, the style of it seemed more in line with what a sick woman would hurriedly write. She meanders off into details about things that seem inconsequential - but that only adds to the impression that this is a sad account of events from one person's perspective.It takes the zombie apocalypse to a very personal level, without the camera angles you'd see in a movie. All you get is her disillusioned perspective - showing how little people are being told as their society falls apart.As it's apparently part of a series, I'm curious to find out what might be in the sequel - whether the next book will be someone else's last day, or whether zombie Jillian decides to continue documenting her story.
