The cover of this book caught my eye immediately, there was just something about the chick with the axe and that mischievous smile that drew my eye. Of course the title helped too.Quentin or Q as prefers to be called is my type of gal. She's a trainee to be a kindergarten teacher or here in the US a student teacher. The whole thing takes place in Australia which in itself is unique, because most apocalypse books I've read take place in the US. She tends to spend her nights playing shooter games on her PC, and teaches a girls Kung fu class. The thing is Q is a bit quirky, she doesn't deal well with “normal” people. Yet I loved her and her quirkiness, confession I kinda want to be like her when I grow up.Now the down side to the book Rabbit and his hippie vegan a term used repeatedly through out the book. I really didn't like Rabbit, he was just the complete opposite of Q and as a love interest I didn't buy it at all. I liked Dave so much better and kept hoping throughout the book that Q would fall for him instead. I was sadly let down on this front, so the romance aspect of the book (if you can call it that) was a total flop in my opinion. The zombie aspect was much better. Although that didn't really pick up until a quarter of the way into the book. Still this was a good book and very funny, I don't think I've ever read a zombie apocalypse book that was this humorous.How I got it: NetGalley
