***Spoiler In the end of this review. The first half of the book, while bloody, was a bit boring and I started to skip paragraphs. It was almost as if several different people were writing together and their styles just didn't mesh well. The writing seemed to collapse under a weight of excruciatingly meaningless details and really lengthy descriptions, and the action suffered. The second half of the book was better, but one of the many people who dies is a major reason I enjoyed reading this series, and I regret the loss.A lot of creepy death is what you get in a zombie book, but we also need to care about the story and characters. I really liked the previous books, but this one comes out of a cold, wet, muddy left-field. A major plot line was executed and nothing believable came in to replace the loss. Ok, sorry ***Spoiler Alert with a gripe, *** another baby, really? It trivializes what everyone has already gone through. Still have hope for the next book; however, if the awful Boggs doesn't die soon I might have to give up on this series. I need to go back and re-read the previous books to remind myself why the series was great.
