The characters are terrible, but you’ll want to finish it.

This book is…not great. The characters are all one dimensional and their dialogue is forced and often irritating.

That being said, it is a REALLY good take on zombies and what could happen. I really loved the take that humans just…adjust. Like we do to every other horror, we keep going and figure it out. Medicine/technology/etc doesn’t all disappear just because people die and humans will always figure out a way to keep going and thrive, regardless of the restrictions.

The science about the virus and how it works and why was also really refreshing to a lot of other zombie/apocalypse books where the reason for the disease is pretty much “just cause.”

I would not recommend this book necessarily, as the characters are so painful to get through and cloying. But, once you start reading it you are going to want to finish reading it.
