review 1: This book makes you second guess your every cough, sneeze, etc. not a book to read while you are sick! lol very unique characters in the book! Has a few that make you think if you could just reach through the book you would hug them & protect them w/everything you have or the few that you might could just slap a couple of times & some that you might help feed to the zombies! Doctor Psychopath would be my top choice! Guess you'll have to read the book to find out why!?! very awesome Book Mr. Simmons!! ENJOY!
review 2: This is the first new-wave zombie book I've read and I'm not impressed. A Zombie flu wipes out most of Belfast and a handful of survivors pass their days in abandoned buildings or scrounging for resources. There is no real mystery, suspense, acti... moreon, comedy, horror, intrigue or plot. These are not fast-moving zombies or clever zombies - they are more like the slow, uncoordinated, shambling zombies of plants-vs-zombies. In short: not very scary or interesting. When these zombies attack, you need to walk a little faster to make sure they don't catch up. If you close a door or turn a corner, they forget about you and amble away. The dust jacket calls the book "brutally realistic" and I guess it is realistic that survivors of this kind of zombie apocalypse would find themselves in a drab, dull world with nothing to do. Unfortunately, this doesn't make for interesting reading.As for the survivors, character development mimics the pattern presented in the TV series Lost: there are curious little connections and back stories to each of the characters. The slow reveal of these back stories is one of the principal hooks of the novel. Unfortunately, this has now been done many times before and elsewhere many times better. All told, the cover art is the most compelling part of this book. less
