I was given this book in return for an honest review. Dave is a recovering alcoholic with a wife that he loves and a job that he enjoys. An affair with a woman begins his downward spiral, when she won't let him go and he tells his wife, things go from bad to worse. Then people start getting sick and between his psycho mistress, his psycho best friend and his angry wife, Dave may learn to prefer the shuffling dead. Dave and his wife Holly separate for a short time and when the dead really go on the atttack, Dave goes off to find her. He teams up with a hodge podge of people while searching for Holly and trying to avoid "The Draggers". Father and son campers, an ex science teacher, and an eccentric hotel worker among others. They will have to work together to stay alive and their biggest worry may not be the Draggers (zombies), it may be the human factions that are supposed to protect them that may be their biggest danger. Cool twist on zombies, these ones are faster and the virus mutates throughout the book. You feel bad for Dave, but then also want to smack him in his head because he can be so stupid. I really dislike his wife Holly, for many reasons, he should have left her on her own and moved on. I love some of the quirky characters in this book, like Landry and Ram, and think that they make the story. All in all, a good read that I really enjoyed. Wouldn't recommend for under age 17.
