Review: Good Zombie Read

I like good zombie fiction and this book certainly qualifies.  The action is fast paced and well written and the author manages to flesh out the main characters quite well as the story unfolds.  Shane is the square jawed hero of the piece, no doubt, but I really enjoyed Terry and thought his newly reborn faith was quite heartfelt and seemed to show a lighter touch than you often see in this genre.I saw another reviewer mention the author's British origin and questioned his setting in the US and I agree the decision was in error.  Write what you know, and all that, but this is a minor grumble.  Note, the head of a prison in the US is typically called the Warden, not Governor.  Maybe he thought the much higher presence of firearms in the States might make for a better survival rate, which of course made little difference in a story set almost entirely in a max security prison.  This makes me think he was already setting up the sequel when he was writing this one.  I read it too and thought it was equally good, by the way.Pick it up Dead Cells and read it.  Then read Shane's further adventures in his winter sequel.  Then, start bugging the author for the next book.
