Review: Hero given too much to make the situation tense
Rating: 3 out of 5

The hero in this story starts out with a massive former ferry that has a massive sailing range, and more goodies packed on it than really necessary.  In fact if not for a rather silly plot twist stuck into book 2 and 3 to help try to add tension there would be little reason to fear the zombies.The supporting cast is almost equally bad.  Many are lacking in sense and some are portrayed as insane, but allowed to maintain levels of control and power that openly endanger others.It's a fun story, but I wish David had been willing to reduce the amount of goodies he gave the hero and showed him as truly resourceful rather than as a lottery millionaire able to effectively throw money at his problems.
