I might not have given this a chance after the first few chapters, but I was reading it for a book club so was determined to power through or die. The main character is so unlikeable at the beginning, that the book is initially hard to choke down. I'm glad I was obliged to stick with it, because Benny improved, and the story got interesting. I like much of what Maberry imagined for his zombie apocalypse-there are certainly ideas I haven't seen before. Some are pretty neat, like the carpet coats and the erosion portraits. Others seemed a bit silly, like the cult-like fear of electricity among some of the townspeople. The author had an interesting approach to zombies-much more empathy than expected, although at times I felt like I was being hammered with that theme. The drawn-out expository conversations between Benny and his brother Tom worked to some extent because Tom is becoming a mentor to Benny, but it sometimes made the dialogue awkward. By the end, I was enjoying their relationship and glad It wasn't perfect, and I don't feel the overwhelming desire to gush about it, but I enjoyed it well enough, developed an attachment to the characters and will probably pick up the next one before too long.
This is no ordinary zombie novel. Maberry has given it a soul in the form of two brothers who captured my heart from the first page and refused to let go. PrijzenErelijsten
In a post-apocalyptic world where fences and border patrols guard the few people left from the zombies that have overtaken civilization, fifteen-year-old Benny Imura is finally convinced that he must follow in his older brother's footsteps and become a bounty hunter.

I'll probably read the next book in the series sometime, just to see where the story goes. ( )
