Zomblog 1I loved the way this book was written; like a diary but with some real live action thrown in.The depravity of human nature that is described was so sad, as it felt so real. The zombies were almost the second monsters.....TW Brown does not bother with the whys and hows but the feelings and day to day survival.I became attached to the main characters and really felt for them for the horrors that came their way.... Has a weird twist at 2/3 which I did not see coming and brought tears to my eyes.Cant wait to carry on with the other 2 novels....Zomblog 2I love the way TW Brown writes... zombies are my current (and long term) love. His characters arebelievable as they have some dramatic and plausible faults! and it is a work of fiction (we hope!) some literary licence in how we heal, mental and physical, has to be given.It is an unusual style, with it being a diary type/1st person style but the switching between characters allows for differing points of view without forsaking the style.Meredith is my kind of girl, yes she is self centered but so she should be, altruism seems to only get you so far in the Zpoc.he heinous things that happen along the "adventure" that she has made me shudder and wonder at humanity in general... but TW Brown does make you think.... would we/could we be any different, I hope we are.Really looking forward to the final installment and the continuation of the DEAD series...more puppies and happy moments too tho please!! or am i getting soft!Zomblog 3 (the Final Entry)I do hope this is NOT the final entry as so want to know what happens in this ZPOC world....I cried twice, once when a well loved character died and then at the end for two reasons, it WAS the end and also the actual ending.... and this was a horror novel!Meredith is my new hero this girl has super sized (very pink & non hairy) b*alls....a new world adventurer.... certainly with fear as she often piddles her pants, probably so would I faced with the horrors she comes across.She makes some tough decisions and has some sad, but negative, insight into herself, which along with her story telling makes up the way this novel is written.TW Brown manages to stay within the confines of the diary style exceptionally well, I felt like I was reading history but along for the ride.I want to find out what happens to Snoe... so please write more!
