This was terrible and great. Terrible in that the 'peeling' is super nasty (I loved it) and great because I really 'saw' it in my mind's eye. It's a short book but I really got into the story quickly. I've bought a lot of IRW over the last year so he must be doing something right( I need to get caught up with reviews I'm so behind..) .Other reviewers have labeled this as 'zombie fiction'  - It isn't. I hate zombie fiction, it seems to attract poor writing (sorry, just my opinion! If anyone finds something totally awesome feel free to throw me a recommendation in the comments) and so far I haven't found a true zombie story that doesn't bore me to tears. This story is about plague, and death and hope (although not much hope if I'm honest) and providing you have a strong stomach you'll enjoy it; it certainly didn't bore me!
