"Really liked it. Like the "professional" reviewers wrote, a thinking mans zombie novel. Nice theoretical twist to zombie intelligence, as opposed to Monster nation, ouch."
"I liked this book. It was well-written, easy to read and well-paced. The back stories for the main characters were dramatic and interesting, especially Frank's. The author makes no bones about doing nothing new with the zombies themselves, such as giving them new powers or self-awareness or possession by demons or other such nonsense. It's Romero-esque and that't not a bad thing. Paffenroth relies on the story and the characters to invest the reader into the story, rather than gimmicks.
The main fault I found was the end, when Jonah and company found the prison. I thought it devolved into a bit of torture porn and took the focus away from the zombies as the main enemy. I also found the character of Milton a tad too unbelievable and convenient. In fact, Milton seemed like the exception to the Romero tradition, and his strange power just struck me as too odd and jarring.
But overall, a fun and entertaining read, and I'm going to look for more of Paffenroth's work."
"This book started out a little shaky, it used a old formula; person is far away from home when attack starts, and makes his way back slowly, only to find his loved ones dead/zombified. After that it goes straight into a survival story, and at one point I somehow managed to skip 3 chapters, and I didn't even realize it until I was near the end of the novel and I was wondering how a certain character was doing something, and I had no idea who he was. Going back to the chapters I missed didn't make the story any more entertaining unfortunately, though it did clear up my confusion. Perhaps the fact that I missed those chapters is coloring my review, but the whole fact that I did and did not realize it until the end of the novel... This book follows a very linear sort of storyline, and it's pathetically easy to see what comes next. Check it out from the library if you're a zombie fan {as I am) but leave off actually buying it."
