Helpful Score: 2

I heard that this was a good zombie read so I put on my wish list and waited until it came around. I was expecting a mix between zombie horror and camp humor. This actually turned out to be an excellent read that was well written and a good comment on war in general. It does show the absurdity of war as well as the heroic side of an armed conflict. One could certainly read a lot of political comment into this or just read the story and enjoy the characters and writing. There is not a lot of character development as each chapter is devoted to one person's story and struggle. The last chapter goes back and shows how some characters did end up but this is a story driven book rather than a character driven book.

As a person who has read a lot of end of world scenario fiction, this rates high as a good read as well. So check your supplies, lock the doors, and remember to get them in the head before reading.
