I started by not really being into this book, but about a quarter of the way through it caught my attention. Best way to describe it is a zombie action comedy. If you like B movies, you will enjoy this.

Eh. It was a book. Characters were ok I guess, and the writing wasn't bad. It just didn't stand out to me as anything special.

This is a book I'm glad I started on an airplane where I had nowhere to be for several hours. Otherwise I would have been up far later than planned or terribly late for something. Book had an interesting concept, fun writing, well paced, and pretty much everything I look for in science fiction. Of course, there are many more books in this series so I suspect that I'll be reading more of them soon.
