3.5 StarsI did not realize that the Primrose Court Apt. stories were actually surrounding the book Don of the Living Dead until reading this one.  I thought the idea of this story was very intriguing in the fact that the author picks one individual to follow around and in just a few pages we are introduce to who they are as a person and a quick but revealing back story.  Although this is a zombie story there really isn't any zombie type action until close to the end.  This is really more like "Where were you when the Zombie Apocalypse happened?" and then the story is over.I think this author has a lot of potential and I did go and get a copy of the novel these stories are based on.  There is also 2 or 3 chapters of "Don" at the end of this story to get you hooked (which I was).  The descriptions of the characters, their surroundings, and the so-called meaningless activities they are engaged in are realistic and full, while not being overly wordy, and give depth and dimension to the story.So why only 3.5 stars?  There were some pretty significant spelling and grammar errors throughout.  There weren't a ridiculous amount of individual errors but the errors that did occur were glaring (at least in my opinion).  I would've enjoyed this story more if a closer eye had been paid to editing process.  Also, I was not aware that only half of the length of the book on my Kindle device was this story.  The other half were the first chapters of the book "Don of the Living Dead".  I didn't mind that this was included because it did get me interested in the book, however, I already would've been prone to buy the book without the chapters included in the story. I've also actually read the other two short spin off stories and they all contain the same beginning of "Don".  The description for this product already states it's based on the "Don" book so it really wasn't necessary to include it at all.  It was a little off putting when you reach the 50% mark and the story is actually over.As stated above, I do think this author has a lot of potential.  Especially because I've read the other Primrose stories, which are all worth it and I enjoyed all of them.  I just hope when I finally read the actual book there aren't the grammar and spelling errors.
