I listened to the unabridged audiobook version of this book and it lost me. I really wanted to like this book, but Gibson gets far too into descriptions of scenery (which doesn't really hold my attention), and he jumps right into characters with no introductions. I couldn't keep track of the different characters and I only had a vague grasp on the plot.
Maybe listening to it as an audiobook makes it harder to follow. I might give reading the book a try in the future to see if it goes any better.
The first two-thirds of it was decent, but I gave up partway through the last third when it was just a rehash of all the bible stories with some extra stuff thrown in because it got boring.
Didn't know this was a zombie book going into it. My biggest gripe with it is that it seems like it would be easy to clear out hungries in an area. The book already talks about how they'd dump the hungries into a lye pit to get rid of them. Why not dig a big lye pit, hang something loud and moving over the middle of it to attract the hungries, and they'd fall into it.
