Deadlocked

It has been asserted elsewhere that the zombie genre is "tired". I disagree. If viewed as metaphor describing aspects of modern life, the genre becomes quite relevant. Thoughtless, reactive, appetite driven, monsters roam the Earth, consuming everything with their infectious hunger. Murica....cuz....freedom. Or brains, or what have you. Shambling corpses act out a hideous parody of life.
I enjoyed the book. The protagonist was ordinary with believable courage, weaknesses, and adaptability. At times horrified and determined and ultimately noble. The world building was pretty good, but I would have liked a slightly more complete picture- to sink more deeply into the dream. All in all, I enjoyed it. Thanks.

As with most of the young male demographic right now, I am obsessed with zombies. With that being said I am also very sick of them. This novella is a refreshing read after being bombarded with sub-par story telling and overused themes. Wises attention to detail is fantastic. It takes a lot to make me uneasy when I am reading and he did it more than once in this story. A suspenseful and gripping look at how an average man's day turns into an undead nightmare! I can't wait to read what happens in the next installment.

I mean at first I thought it would be just like any zombie book but it took a turn that I didn’t even see coming and the fact that the next book is going to continue from where this left off is awesome!!!!!
