Rot & Ruin

WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD

I'm very torn about this book. One part of me really enjoyed it, and the other was tempted to throw it at a wall with some force. The cover is very appealing, and immediately alerts the reader as to what they will be reading about (ahem- zombies). As a zombie apocalypse book, it was decent. It did its job as portraying zombies as zombies and the characters reacted accordingly. With that said, there were some sub-plots that made the book kind of confusing.

Now, let me tell you the most anger-invoking part of the book. When Tom Imura falls off of the car into a horde of zombies, we all thought he was a goner, right? I mean, really. There's no way, no way, that he could have survived falling into a mass, a riot, of hungry zombies who just surged toward him and obscured Benny's view of him. He's dead, right?

WRONG.

Instead, Tom smelled like zombies because of Benny's slip-up, hid under a car for an extended amount of time without food or water, and then crawled out, alive, and tracked Benny down. With nothing to go off of. Because, you know, logic doesn't matter when you're writing a fiction novel.

Anyways, it was a pretty good book and I'll get around the reading the second one sometime.
