*given to me from the author in exchange for an honest reviewWhat I did like about the book:I've read author Rusty Fisher's work before and what I like about it most is that  it's different than many other zombie stories. When I read the synopsis to this one it sounded a little different than the zombie books I've been reading lately so,  I gave it a try and was not disappointed. The zombie world  Fisher created was original and though it did feature some classic zombie-book traits, it was still new!Part of what made this book original was the fact that it was filled with a lot of humor. There was just enough humor that it didn't become silly. However, after some of the darker moments in the book some easy jokes were necessary and really added to the book.The characters were fleshed out well for a story that has only a couple of basic settings. We get a little background on each character but we do get to see a lot of their personalities. The cast is very colorful and  I enjoyed getting to know all of them.This is not a very long zombie novel but it does tell a well rounded story. I read it in a few sittings because of my scheduale but it actually can be read in one sitting. The pace is fast so there is little time to get bored with the story.There some nice twists and turns that were surprising and explained very well.What I didn't like about this book:There was one rather long scene where everyone was vomiting every where. By the second time someone vomited all over themselves I got the point. It took me a whole chapter to get over that.I didn't necessarily dislike the ending but I didn't love it either. It was a little too predictable  and hokey for me but it didn't leave me unsatisfied with the book either.My Recommendation: I would recommend this book to anyone who loves a good  zombie read who doesn't want a  depressing one all the time. It's fun, fast paced read that every zombie fan can enjoy.Rated: PG-13 For Zombie Violence and GoreRating: 5/5 Stars
