Review: A very good follow-up to Zombie Rules

I thoroughly enjoyed the first book, Zombie Rules, and this was a very good second installment, all things considered. I agree with another reviewer (Alan Wilson, I believe) that the editing in this book was not as good as the first, perhaps a few too many new characters were introduced, and the story also seemed rather rushed toward the end. I was also quite taken aback by the VERY sudden reappearance of a certain character (no spoilers) near the end of the book. The character was introduced so abruptly via a new chapter, that I felt I had surely missed some type of transition chapter. But, apparently not. Oh, well. I still enjoyed reading about all of the characters and their adventures, so I gave this 4 stars instead of 3. I do wish the evolution aspect of the zombies had been explored a bit more, but perhaps that will be the topic for a third book? That would certainly put a new twist on things, and I would definitely buy the next installment if that were the case. That said, I hope the proofreading of a third book would be better than this one. While some missing words aren't necessarily a deal breaker for me, it's still annoying and detracts from the flow of the story. I just thought it odd that the first book was better than the second in that regard.
