This book was ok as far as zombie novels go. It felt a little "young" in parts with the love stories and how people were acting around each other but maybe that is just a side effect of me getting older. The action is ok, although for young men the two main brothers seem to have a lot of poise and wisdom. And I deal with young people on a regular basis and I can tell you that very few act with the calm and rational demeanor these fellows do..I would much rather see them struggle along through mistakes and give us a little time to squirm. Instead these guys are adept at multiple forms of combat and never miss a headshot, and as a person that target shoots regularly I can tell you hitting a moving target in a space the size of a head at any distance is not easy..but I digress.The book also skips around viewpoints a little too much for me, I can barely begin to settle into one character when we are off on another one and things happen so quickly there seems to be very little setup. I don't like giving negative reviews but this one just didn't do it for me. I recommend "Mort" if you want a regular Joe in a zombie situation but I warn you....it is graphic.
