I have just finished this wonderfully informative book from Brian Keene.
I have to say the guy is apparently a experienced writer on the subject of the ghouls. He has other books out now and I think I will be picking them up soon.
I judge a book on the speed at which I read it. I have had some books I sorta like that I got a year ago and I am still reading. I have books I am reading only because I have to and I have only read a few chapters. I read this book in less then a week and all while moving my while apartment by myself... and I have a lot of junk!
It was 318 pages of pure zombie bliss. I loved how he made the world and how the characters acted and reacted to situations.
Imagine a world in which the dead walk the street, dripping with decay and maggots, covered in flies. And you live in that world. It would be like having roadkill strapped to your face 24/7. That is the feeling I got from this book. Not only did humans become zombies but so did the animals. Some where immune yet it would mutate and turn them undead to. Can you imagine a zombie shark or whale? or a zombie flock of seagulls? I wouldn't want to. As much as I would want to live in a zombie apocalypse if the birds got it I would just give up, I mean flying zombies that is just not fair!
I give this book a 9 out of 10. I enjoyed it very much and stayed up till 2am finishing it last night and I had to work this morning!
