I have seen were everyone else has either loved this book or hated it and a few in-between. I have to report that I hated this book. Absolutely hated this book. I thought this would be a great read. Someone was kind enough to send me this book as a gift and I always read everything people send me. I really enjoy when people send me books or recommend me books. I always read them. This book however while I am grateful to the person who sent it to me. This book was not for me.

I was very unhappy with this book. I do not really remember when it was said if the main character was a boy or a girl so with the way this is written I was pretty surprised that it was a girl in the end with how she was written. She was written like a boy. She takes the beatings her father gives her since he is abusive and she is always talking about how she should get between her father and mother. That kind of talk makes me think of a boy. A boy would get between a father and mother to protect her from his abusive father. It is very unheard of that a girl would do the same.

I also think that the father is an ass. He is a racist abusive ass. And to think he would go from an abusive ass to thinking about saving his daughter during a zombie attack because he cares just throws this character off a lot from his original details. There is hardly any character development to even make such a radical change in character. He is still racist as he tells her to throw the black kid to the zombies and shoves an Indian kid back so his daughter can go through the door first sacrificing this kid because he's Indian.

I was not impressed with the writing style of this book either. It seemed very dry in spots and while I can say the book is particularly well written when it comes to the zombies everything else just seems a little forced when it comes to the teenagers in this book. This book is a short book and only 174 pages long. The last twenty or thirty pages was when the zombie attack finally happened. I did not like the end of this book either. While it finished a story line it concludes with "The end for now." This symbolizes the fact that there is more information for this book but a new story line. I do not know how people could read this and enjoy it. It's a short book that only has a lot of good Zombie scenes going on the last twenty to thirty pages. That is not a good book to me.

I can say that I did like the zombies because when I do think of zombies I do think of brain eating zombies so that was probably about the only thing that I really enjoyed.

This is just my opinion. As I stated at the beginning you will either fall into one of three groups: The I love it group, The it was okay group, or The I hated it group. I fall into the last one. I am sure his other books are good but this one just did nothing for me. The writing style was not for me and this author is probably not for me.
