After reading this book, I am compelled to stop reading zombie and end of the world books all together and I say this because the ending of this series is perfect. (Well, I will definitely still read end of the world books, but if there was a book to end them with, this is the one)Bones is the story of the end of the world through three apocalypses and in the center of them all is Bones the loveable K-9 cadaver dog. Through his eyes (and snout) readers are walked through the destruction of man and are left wanting just a little bit more.Where Bones succeeds and other stories fail is that there are no painfully boring chapters in which the protagonist hims and haws over the destruction of society, the quest for basic survival supplies in hostile wastelands, and there are thankfully only a few moments where the reader is locked in a room thinking, 'oh jeez how are we going to get out this time'. Well, to be fair, Bones has some of that but the author keeps the momentum going where I would say most stories fail to do so. Also, Bones the dog, doesn't worry about any of that. He is a dog and has very limited care for things that don't directly affect him in the present.I wont give away the ending of the novel but I will say that it is the first end of the world story where I actually cried.Buy this book!
