Review: Unoriginal, undemanding, and insubstantial

I acknowledge that it's very hard to come up with anything original in the horror and zombie genre but this 'book' makes absolutely no attempt at originality. Every cliche in the canon is wheeled out on this occasion without any verve or energy.I didn't notice any indication on the cover or blurb that this was the first in a series and consequently, I plowed through a very elaborate setup when I was expecting a self-contained, full novel. It's the equivalent, for me, of promising someone a movie and delivering a TV pilot.The cast of characters and progress to date are so hackneyed that I have absolutely no compulsion to read the next installment. I just don't care.
