From what I'd heard about this book and what I had in mind that it was, it fell very flat. Sadly, bits people find clever, I find stupid. The things I thought were going to be clever ended up being something different and stupid. So, overall, I don't care for this book.

I'm was not a fan of zombie movies, but my husband is, so we've consumed quite a bit of zombie culture. Brooks is essentially making up his own type of zombie and then not-so-slyly cracking on every other rendition of the zombie genre and saying every one else is wrong. To me, this seems like an outsider coming to play in someone else's sandbox and changing all the rules.

Usually I give a book about 30 pages to give up. However, it has taken a week for me to read 10 pages. I need to read books a little faster than 10 pages a week, and I'm not going to waste 3 weeks on a book I'm not going to read. The 30 page rule used to be because that would give me about a half-hour with a book and if I didn't like it after that, then so be it. The fact that I haven't pulled this out on a bus ride during the past week to get 30 minutes to read shows that my level of interest from just the introduction is pretty poor.
