Review: Good Premise Bad Story

I only got about half way before I had to stop. It’s got a great premise with a unique twist on zombies, but I didn't like the writing style.  For example t the beginning Michael stands up to his tribe and does the right thing and his father has this heart to heart with him afterwards, but it’s not set up with enough back story where it just makes it seem hokey.  Also I’m not a big fan of the characters they all seem to go off and do irrational things without thinking them through or coming up to a plan.  Finally there are parts of the story that don’t make sense (spoiler alter) for example at one point the zombies learn how to use bombs, that’s a wicked cool twist, but then when they set one off in the middle of the night no one hears it and wakes up?  Then only one zombie gets in after they blow the gate not a whole hoard? You’re in the middle of the zombie apocalypse literally surrounded by zombies and you just count on the fence to keep them out with no one standing guard?  Stuff like that seemed too silly to me.
