I'm a big fan of Ian Woodhead. He has a very unique writing style and, being from "across the pond" uses many terms and vocabulary I'm not always familiar with. For the most part, I can figure out the meanings just from the context of the sentence. The ones I'm not sure about are very easy to look up. I actually really enjoy that part of reading his books. I'm a lover of words, especially new ones. It's always fun for me to be able to research some of the words and phrases Ian uses. But, enough about the grammar, let's talk about, The Unwashed Dead.This book, right from page one, is very unique. It jumps right into people becoming zombies and without a whole lot of explanation. I won't give away any spoilers, but I will say.....every time I get a headache, I'll think of this story. Ian does a fantastic job of jumping back and forth between the different characters and their stories. Everything flows perfectly from one point of view to the next leading up to the different characters coming together towards the end. I also enjoyed the "realistic" scenarios that these characters are thrown into. Most zpoc books portray people that are "preppers" or "survivalists" or "gun experts". The Unwashed Dead actually takes a totally different route. These characters are "real" people who are frightened and use whatever weapons are at their disposal. Some grab baseball bats, hammers, pool cues, beer bottles......pretty much anything they can get their hands on to try to survive.I won't give away any spoilers from this book.....That's just not my style. You'll have to download this great book and see for yourself just what a great story it is!!Thanks for writing such a fast-paced, action-packed, "believable" zpoc book, Ian!! I was very entertained by it and cannot wait for the next installment!! Well done!! :-)
