I started reading this book directly on the tail-end of The Zombie Survival Guide. I have to say that where the Guide failed to impress, this book delivers.
The book takes place years after what the Guide specified as a “Class 4″ or when Zombies overthrew the world, and mankind goes into hiding. The book is basically a recount of peoples tales of what happened before, during and after the “Great Panic”.
The first thing to note is that Mr. Brooks varies his writing style to give each story a life of its own. No two narrators sounded alike, which I have to admit was an impressive thing to behold. The second, and easily the more important of the two, things to note is that the stories for the most part managed to move me.
Considering the entire book is a work of fiction, Brooks managed rather well to make it feel very real. What’s more is that he managed to make it feel very human. few authors can truly say the same.
An impressive read over all,
8.5/10
