This book suffered from what most second novels in a trilogy suffer from: Idling. Obviously written to set the stage for the final showdown in the trilogy, Aguirre dedicated a lot of time to teen angst and love triangle drama. Had the characters stayed busy in the first part of the book they might not have come across as moody and sullen and boring. I lived my teenage years; over and done with, don't care to relive them through literature. This makes me think that teens wouldn't focus so much on themselves and the oh-so-horrible lives they lead where no one understands them if they had to fight blood-thirsty mutants. <--My best excuse yet for a zombie apocalypse.
I grew to dislike Deuce and Fade and Tegan but gained more respect for Stalker. That's a lost cause, though. The love plot is pretty transparent as to who will end up with whom.
There's a hint of Murakami's sadistic ideas in here, too. That was both gross and fascinating.
I am very much looking forward to the last book, though - this will be an exciting bloodbath.
