I've read and reviewed my share of zombie novels over the past few years - "Zombie Books" was given to me gratis in exchange for an honest review.Bart Gnarly's tale is one of human survival during a zombie apocalypse, but with a slightly different twist. These "non-breathers", as the author refers to his zombies, do not evolve into slow, stumbling, hideous creatures after they are infected - kill the brain and you kill the monster is the norm.  Instead, these zombies look like anybody else you may pass during a stroll.  Their graying color and perhaps a piece of somebody's arm sticking from their mouth might be telltale signs that they are no longer with the living.  They are driven by an unquenchable hunger for humans and can track their scent from a mile away. None of their motor skills were lost during the transformation, so they can climb, open doors, surround prey when in a pack and do not tire when chasing their food.  Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, they can't be killed, but they can be destroyed.  So toss out everything you knew about zombies to this point...Kyle Moore is a 20 year old high school dropout.  A Loser, not trusted by neighbors and the fellow citizens in the small town of Cheney, Washington, considered a nobody!  This story is told through his eyes.After witnessing the brutal murder of his family, Kyle escapes and runs for his life.  They are not killed by zombies, instead, a roving band of survivalists were watching them and soon ambush the family, stealing all their supplies - then gunning them down and leaving a burning car and house in their wake. Kyle is now alone and will learn about these new zombies and other survivors through trial and error!Follow Kyle on this quest for survival  He meets other survivors along the way, eventually joining up with a small group of zombie killers after they rescue him from a no-win situation.  They teach Kyle how to be a killer, allowing him to train for a couple of weeks before joining them on the daily search and destroy missions.  Unknowingly, others are watching Kyle and monitoring his every move."Zombie Books" is a great story and highly recommended if you enjoy this genre.  I would have given Bart Gnarly five stars, but his story has typos and incorrectly used words in sentences throughout the book, which causes one to pause to figure it out.  However, don't let that stop you from reading this unique story!  Good job Mr. Gnarly!John Podlaski, authorCherries - A Vietnam War Novel
