My Thoughts:
When I first picked up this book I had very high hopes. I mean its a zombie book, yay! However it took me a really long time to get into this book. I couldn't connect witth the characters as well as I would've liked either. I think part of my issue is that since reading the As the World Dies Trilogy everything else suffers from comparison.
I am undecided on whether or not I will continue the trilogy. In short, I am still looking for that next zombie story.
