Maybe I was a little bias going into this because I'm not a fan of Zombie fiction, but I thought this book was a bit of a waste of time. Had some cool ideas but some of it seemed overblown, AND some of the details he went into just seemed really stupid, eg, he mentioned how artillery wouldn't be effective because zombies aren't hurt by hydrostatic shock . Thats just plain stupid the way it was written and the author needs to gets some facts straite if he wants to get technical!

Anyway, at best, I'd give this book 4/10
Hello it's fictional story. He has tons of " facts " in there. He did a great job compared to the crap most writers pop out with these days.
And and and you needa get the word straight << straight.
I was never really a zombie fan either but because before I read the book I learned alot about judgment day in the bible ( Ironically ) and being agnostic I go " oh shit what if it happened" cause I know if zombies were taking over << God would not let me up.
