I felt this was a surprisingly good novel from a first time writer. The format is of a personal journal, complete with spelling and grammer errors, kept by a survivor. With the story written from the first person perspective, and without to much detail about the survivor, it is very easy to "fall into" the story. It also focuses mainly on what is going on directly around the character; you have little idea what is happening in the rest of the city, country or world.
I do have a few small criticisms. I don't feel the characterization of the supporting cast is very good. I just can't imagine what they look like, if you know what I mean. And the ending is much more abrupt then I would have liked.
At the end of my edition is a beginning chapter of a follow up book. To be blunt I hope this will be heavily re-written and edited. It's just not up to the standard of the first.

I like this book because it's a first person view. Plus it's FKN sweet buy it.
A very good read, worth picking up but a little "too perfect" for my tastes= October 12, 2008

Let me be clear from the start - I enjoyed this book quite a bit. Fans of zombie apocalypse speculative fiction would be well served picking up this book if they have not already done so. The author is clearly intelligent and has done his research and his attention to detail is fantastic.
My problem is that the story is a little bit too perfect - the protagonist is just too good at what he does and his luck appears to be just too good. There doesn't appear to be a single skill or ability that he or his crew doesn't have to tackle the myriad of situations they're faced with. This is not a story about your `average joe' who rises to the nigh impossible challenge of surviving in a world filled with the undead. It's more like MacGyver vs. the Undead.
