Helpful Score: 3

Allison Hewitt is...my hero, I think. Should a zombie apocalypse arise (They're coming to get you Barbara!) I would seriously hope to have such a kick-ass ax-yielding potty-mouthed heroine around.

Plot: The book is in the format of blog posts by Allison, chronicling her experiences from the moment she ends up trapped in a book store's break room. (Which, other than a Wal-mart is probably the best place to be stuck if you ask me. Why Wal-mart? Foods and guns of course.)

Although it has a "diary" format, you really don't notice it other than the comments fellow survivors make. Which is actually kind of cool because it offers multiple points of view without the confusing back and forth between characters. Allison hacks her way through hell and zombie goo to try and find some kind of utopia in the charred remains of society.

My thoughts: While reading this I was thinking something along the lines of "Crap, crap, holy crap, Allison kicks ass!" It's funny and moves along quite well. There were no points where I was tempted to skip a few pages ahead to see when the boring parts ended. Get it. Read it. Love it.
