I was a little worried when I got this that it might be zombies, because I usually hate zombie books (although I'm still trying to find some that will change my mind!), but it's really not about our shambling undead friends.There are zombie-LIKE creatures, but they aren't undead, just psychotic and weird after a virus that put most people into a short term coma hits the world. The story follows an unlikely group of 'survivors', narrated by the young and self proclaimed geek Jimmy. I liked the writing style, it has a charm to it, a very casual 'this is me talking' type of style but one that drew me in nonetheless. It's not overly descriptive but it does convey the story well enough so that it doesn't matter (and I say this as someone who is quite addicted to adjectives.)
