I was lead to this ebook by the glowing reviews and the plot synopsis which seemed very entertaining. I love stories about the apocalypse and zombies so I was very excited to download this to my Kindle. The beginning of the book was very interesting with shocking and gruesome extremely visual scenes. As soon as I read the first few pages I thought I was hooked. I thought this was going to be something I couldn't put down.I was wrong.I quickly discovered that just about every character in the book has no depth. At any time in this story everyone could play musical chairs with names and it wouldn't matter. Everyone is tha same. It was just a long list of names that didn't matter because most of them died within the next few pages anyway. Men and women who this dog felt at time he should defend to the death, but when they died it was of no consequence, a sniff maybe, perhaps a lick to the face, then he'd move on and so should we the readers.The parts between the horrific action did not flow well to the next part. It was bland and a horrible chore to read, a lot of that attributing to the fact that there is no reason to care about any of the characters and what they are going through.There were sex scenes in the story, which were weird because they just seemed to be thrown in for no reason, they weren't interesting and they were weird. Not weird as in weird sex, but weird as in oddly written. It was written as if the author had distaste for sex, didn't find it interesting and did not feel we should find it interesting either, yet there seemed to be no reason to include these scenes.So the only thing really worth reading about this book were the gory bloody scenes, but there was so much of that thrown in and it became so predictable that I was bored and numbed by it in the end.
