I thought I'd give my thoughts too. I am a big fan of the zombie genre having read about twenty zombie books over the last two years.

This one is simply excellent. There's no sensationalism and this is how I imagine the excrement would it the fan if it did ever happen. Very well written, I have to say this is one of the best books of the genre I've read.

Jon, I'd like a sequel please. I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

Folks, I'll be the first to admit it. I'm not a big fan of the zombie genre. However, a friend of mine (who is a big fan) bought this book and told me "You got to read this book!". I thought "For 99 cents, I'll give it a shot". Guess what?

I was impressed, seriously impressed. The book is definitely spooky. What I liked most about this book is you don't quite know how it's gonna end. With a lot of books, it's easy to pick up on how it's gonna end. Not this book!

The characters are believable. They strike me as people you might actually know (or have known) in real life. There are some books where the characters are not believable or are too one dimensional. Not this book!

If you're looking for a good book about zombies running amok, this is one you'll want to read. I wasn't disappointed. Not one bit!
