Review: Wasn't ready for it to end

I've enjoyed this entire series, and if you're looking at this book, you've probably already read the other four and don't need my opinion. Nevertheless, you're going to get it. This was a very fitting end to the series, and for the most part the writing stayed consistent throughout all five books. At three dollars apiece, you get a lot of bang for your buck. That said, I did have a few nits to pick. Although book four did prepare the way for the religious turn the series took, and it was well done and not at all preachy, I still felt a little irritated by it. You read three books of zombie-crunching mayhem, and then it turns into discussion after discussion about faith, religion, and what exactly did that pesky Bible say? And because the group splits up, reconnects, splits up another way, reconnects, and so on, the reader is constantly reading dialogue about events that they just read about, so the characters can know all the things that happened when they were somewhere else. Again, handled well, just kind of redundant. I have one more peeve, but I can't write about, without risking a spoiler. When it is all said and done, I really enjoyed the series and definitely would recommend it.
