This was definitely not my type of book in the end. I like action, but the mass repetitiveness of this dang book had me reeling. I would rather have been eaten by a zombie than to read a cliche novel about (somewhere, on the earth) a mysterious plague is here. Woah! they're super grotesque and are feasting on human flesh?! I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THAT Max Brooks, that is just so original of you! >_> Really though. I didn't like it and kept picking it up, I even decided to listen to a good 2/4 of the book but no narrator can change my overall boredom and dissapointment in this book. I think this one falls under the category: the movie was better. (Still haven't seen it though...)
