Chaos

This story can get a bit too detailed at times, especially while describing specific assault tactics or building layout. This first book only covers a few days of time. So far, I'm enjoying how the author has made the disease more believable than many previous authors have done. It will be interesting to see if it is still believable as the story unfolds and the initial infection fades into the past. There are maybe a dozen instances where the author could have used a good editor to correct grammar, spelling, and sentences that made no sense.

I decided to read this one to give myself a break from high investment reads. I hoped that this would be a good in flight type of book like the famous Reacher novels. Sadly, O'Brien does not even come close. The writing is too simplistic for a post apocalyptic scenario. Everyone seems to take everything in their stride and killing people is like taking out the garbage. To top it all of all the teens in the book also seem to have the “My neighbor is a Zombie” syndrome. On top of that if you use half a page to talk about opening a door, I am not sure I can keep on reading for too long. In the end the only reason I finished is that it was mercifully short!. No more of this franchise for me.
