This is an extreme departure from the normal children and young adult fair this reader is used to purchasing. But it is a highly entertaining and original departure. I didn't realize at first that I was reading the first installment in a series of books. So upon reaching the conclusion, I was delighted to learn I could read more of these great characters.What I liked most about the cast of characters in this novel was the diversity of backgrounds and personalities. Two heart warming children, a lovable retriever, a sweet older couple, a pair of thirty something ex-military buddies and a young single girl who meets a potential soul mate in the midst of this horrifying journey through an un-dead strewn England. Throw in a bit of paranormal intrigue and you have a very compelling premise indeed.The action is nearly non-stop as these very endearing characters are revealed more in action than described in narrative. A skillful blend of story telling and humor mixed with adventure, horror, and violence. Excellent for the serious horror fan but complete enough to entertain any reader of any age.
