Review: As good as the first one but the serial format is frustrating

I read The Scourge after it was published in its entirety and loved it--even though I don't like zombie stories at all.  Calas' historical sections really add to the novel, particularly when he points out that the zombies are the equivalent of the Black Death in the middle ages: something unexplained and terrifying.  Some of his characters and all of the locations are based on real people and real places which enhances the story.  The only problem I find is waiting for the next installment.
