I have to voice just one complaint about this book, it kept me from getting any work done the past couple of days! I honestly couldn't put it down! Run, by author Charles Findley,is one of the best zombie genre novels of it's kind. It takes everything you know about zombie movies, books and even television shows and adds it's own twist on them. "Run" has captured what it would be like to actually be part of a zombie-type ordeal and try to not only survive, but also thrive.Right from the start, this book kicks you in the stomach and makes you very aware of the fact that you are witnessing a zombie apocalypse and you had better run. The story is shown through the eyes of many different survivors, not just one or two in a small group escaping together like many other zombie stories do. The characters in the story are very well written and the action is almost non-stop. Just when you think you are going to get a moment to catch your breath, the author reels you back in with another horrific scene! I liken the book to a thrill ride which is no coincidence since it starts out at an amusement park. The story ends up being just the right length to leave the reader hanging on the edge of a cliff as we wait for Findley to write a follow-up to this zombie masterpiece. If any book should be turned into a movie or television series, this is the one.
