One of the most disappointing books I have ever read in my entire life. I hated the writing, the story line, and all the characters (lack of). This book had major potential, but it just fell apart right at the beginning.

The story is basically just snippets told to a reporter by some of the major players who were involved in the Zombie War. A majority were military related that made no sense since and were hard to understand being that this is a made-up war in the authors mind. If you have no military experience or understanding the whole book will be lost on you. Even with my extensive knowledge of the Civil War I was still lost and could barely follow along.

I felt nothing for any of the characters or story tellers in the book. I felt nothing for the reporter as well since he seemed to be yelled at or made to look stupid at times which I could understand since he annoyed the ever loving hell out of me as well.

I could go on and on, but I could care less. I'm just thrilled to be done with this and I find it silly to repeat what has already been said in many of the other 1 star ratings that have already been published. I agree with all of them.
