COMMUNITY REVIEWS

zoms submitted by unknown on July 30, 2013, 9:06pm I am enjoying this book so far!

Well thought out zombie post apocalyptic fiction with slightly predictable characters and plot submitted by kwamepr on August 5, 2023, 10:31pm I enjoyed the various twists on zombie lore, won’t spoil them in this review, but several of the adaptations were unique. The town was an interesting place to develop a coming of age story and at least two major characters give lengthy and interesting retellings that move the plot along. The action towards the end was done nicely. My only criticism is the main character is somewhat predictable in his reactions and most other characters aside from Tom and Lilith are single dimensional.
