Review: Okay but nothing special

I read this without reading any of the other books in the series.  It was okay, but nothing special.  My main problem is that there was not much actual action.  I just couldn't get interested in the LWtD world enough to see myself in it.  Most of the story revolves around Josh Guess who is part of an enclave of survivors in Kentucky.  Josh and a small group go on a around the country trip to check check out the U.S. and finalize trade agreements.  Along the way they attack and are attacked by zombies and outcast humans.  But the telling of the story lacks excitement.  I especially like how they forgot a chainsaw.The details see more like a clinical review of the action.  Plus I found the end results of how they dealt with the Exiles totally ridiculous.  The spelling and formatting were good so the story was readable.  I just didn't think that what I read was that interesting.  I did like the bonus, Ode to Brains.
