I recently received a Kindle as a gift and I immediately started reading my favorite kinds of books: Zombie Apocalypse. After reading several, I realized that many are good, some are bad, and a few really stand out. Z-Day: First Blood is one of those that stand out due to its originality and skillful writing. It starts off with a very creepy beginning with excellent action scenes and gets better from there. The characters are people that you can relate to, and I really cared about what was happening to them. Of the zombie books I have read so far, this book has the best characters of them all. The good guys have their flaws, and the bad guys are not one-dimensional killers or sadists. Even the side characters have personalities and are fully developed. One surprising thing about the book is that I found myself sympathizing with one of the bad guys, and at the same time I hated what he was doing.In the story, we get to experience the Zombie Apocalypse from both sides. We follow the good guys as they try to cope with the chaos that is emerging, while at the same time we follow the bad guys who have been infected with the disease as they slide down into violence and savagery. It is heart-wrenching to see what some of them do as their minds slowly rot away.I would recommend this book for any zombie fan that is looking for something a little different in zombie books (but not too different). Also, anyone that enjoys well-crafted characters in their books should really enjoy this book.
