Very entertaining book. I read it so fast (a true page turner). It had a lot of pretty brutal and violent scenes. I'm curious how that will translate for the movie. I need to read book 2 !

I found this book to really drag. It started out to be fun, but the story was not well woven and there was really no major plot or highlight. It was harmless and forgettable, I guess. I found the Isabel side of the story to be unrealistic and boring. The Harriet story was better, overall. I gave it a 3/5, for a C average.

Book was just ok. Interesting topic, but I think overall the subject (suicide) was treated abut cavalier-ly. Problem might have been that a few of the characters were just not likeable. Also their backstories weren't as involving as I'd have wanted. Also the author did a lot of foreshadowing that was annoying. Interested in what Toni Colllette and Peirce Brosnan will bring to the movie.

Very fun take on a zombie novel. I quite enjoyed it.
