Review: pretty boring

I give this 4 stars mainly because of the beginning and having read the prequel novel "Victim Zero". The world is solid, the zombie causation unique. However the actual story gets so freaking boring and repetitive. I'm going to skip ahead a bit and try and make it through this book. Hopefully the next section of the story is more engaging. I know this is meant to be a blow by blow blog account of the zombie apocalypse but come on....if I have to read another angsty, dramatic, teenage bitchfest, revenge fantasy entry on the Richmond soldiers I may skip the next book entirely.It's pretty obvious the author doesn't know much about military movements or even classic strategy, and many of his characters illustrate this perfectly. I do like the absolute nonmention of race, any book that tries to club the reader over the head with their own preconceived notions wins an extra star. That and the initial conversation about religion and morals is why this gets 4 instead of 3 stars. I am hoping the next book will go back to the style of the first book. Since the prequel was written after this book I do hold out hope.
