In a fit of whimsy, I hereby announce I will give everyone five stars, but the reviews may not reflect it.

A comic take on The Walking Dead, nothing original, but I'm not sure that was the goal. It's funny at times and the story is interesting enough. The narrator reads a bit too fast, even at regular speed

Zombies, humor, cannibals, and lots of F-bombs. Sounds like a great time right? It is.

This book is a hoot! Take the absolutely worst parts of suburban life and combine them with the zombie apocalypse, and you'll get a fresh appreciation for the sentiment that people make their own hell. Very fun take on the end of the world.

Thoroughly enjoyable Z read. I was a big fan of the internal dialogue, sounds like me when I talk to myself... about myself...

I liked it.

This was my first book in the Zombie genre and it did not disappoint. The characters were likeable , their relationships believable and the story was more light hearted than I thought it would be.

Elsbeth was chef's kiss. She was fast , badass and everything I hope I'd be if a zombie apocalypse does occur. I loved Jace too. He always got up and kept on going no matter what happens, which , if I'm being honest is admirable, especially in a Zombie Apocalypse.

This book made me laugh, which I honestly didn't expect to do , especially in a book after Zombie Apocalypse concerning Zombies.

This book came highly recommended by a fellow zombie-fiction fan, and I have to admit, in the beginning, it was slow. Jace and his family have survived Z-Day by holing up in the suburbian mecca Whispering Pines. They've figured out how to keep the zombies out, keep their people in and safe, and hell, they even have electricity and and HOA, run by the Dolores Umbridge-like Brenda and her minions. So, cush life after the zombie apocalypse, right?

Then, it gets a bit darker...

It gets a bit more actiony...

It gets a heck of a lot more exciting.

There's cannibals, crazy-dudes, an Eden-like farm, and a plan to rebuild it all, so you should read it.
