Loved this YA zombie apocalypse read!  This is actually the first time I've read a zombie book, I'm normally a vampire, witch or alien reader when it comes to the paranormal stuff.  I have to say, I really enjoyed it, finishing over a few hours.  It is solidly YA, and you get that great teen high school drama going which the characters eventually overcome as they have to work together to stay alive.Speaking of the characters...I liked seeing Donna change from a scared, "save myself first" person to someone willing to fight to save those people she cares about (and some she doesn't, at least not at first).  Gretchen was one of those characters you just want to smack, so I was fine with how she ended up.  Loved seeing Veronica evolve into a leader.  Liam...well, all I can say is I hope things turn out for the best at some point in their world as I kinda think he deserves a good ending.  And Deke, well-I wish I had one of him when I was in high school ;-)The story keeps you interested and involved the whole time you're reading and I had to force myself to put it down at 2am the first night I started reading it so I could get some sleep...only to grab it right back up again the next day.  If you're looking for a zombie read in the YA books, this is a great choice-I'd probably recommend it a best for late middle thru high school ages.  I'm looking forward to more stories set in this world.
