Review: If you never read another zombie book, read this one!

I have often said I don't like Zombie books, but this is the second one I really enjoyed.  (The other is The Scourge.)  Brown's ability to catch the language and attitudes of ordinary people--both men and women--and make them distinctive characters is remarkable. While at its heart the book is a 'road story', it is also a tale of surviving both love and loss.  As a bonus for me, I lived in the Portland area as a child and remember so clearly the locations vividly described in the book. I definitely recommend this book.  One more note: I read the next book in the series, 'Snoe', and didn't care much for it.
