Oh dear, another one of those award winning books that has gone over my head. Very mediocre story, been down many times before and brings nothing new to the genre. I can sort of see what the plan was with this book, riding on the coat tails of the mighty world war z, shame it wasn't executed well enough. Too much of the story is based in the past and not enough time is spent on the evolution of the characters after the apocalypse.

The book had a strong ending so it got an extra star for that. I think something that would have given this book more of an edge would have been the addition of bits of the graphic novel/comic that is mentioned throughout the story.

I'm sure this is going to be made into a movie/TV series at some point and I have to admit I'm looking forward to what they can do with it.
