Repetitive, annoying characters, just written for the gore without any bigger picture thought about how it all actually works together. Also rather sexist, it doesn't matter how attractive a woman used to be if she is now a zombie, but the author kept insisting on telling me.

First I want to say that I love zombies! Anything I can watch or read, no matter how bad it is, I will usually give it one chance.

That said, there was so much WRONG with this book, that I could not even finish it. So many inconsistencies, I could not keep count. It needs proofread by an editor terribly. I mean seriously, there were so many run-on sentences, broken with commas, but in terrible places, I found myself having to re-read them over just to make any sense of them. And one thing that drove me bonkers...he kept misspelling intel as intell. Sorry I can't understand how anyone, a writer or a reader, can misspell words.

Another peeve of mine is writers who use "Christians" as bad guys. Really? I say Christians loosely because the only thing they DO have in common with typical Christians is that they believe in Heaven. Either way, can't people come up with something else???

Anyhoo, not sure I will ever finish reading it because I started to find it terribly boring. Wanted to give 1 star, but maybe some people will find the book interesting. I just didn't.

Did not finish it.

I gave it until half way (p 250 +/-). To much description of weapons and deaths. Not much about the story unfortunately so I got a bit bored. It moves from outpost to outpost with a formula of : Few soldier / some live, some die, kill some bad guys in a funny way / move on / repeat.

I don't give up on books very often but had to on this occasion.

It keeps repeating itself also, so any descriptions of the bad guys and why they do what they do is repeated so from the description only about 10 % is new information and with everyone been killed a lot in the end I wanted everyone to die.

It does need some editing, but overall pretty good for Zombies. For some reason the characters and scenario were re-introduced several times in the middle of the book. Then toward the end that stopped and it was back to normal. The plot developed nicely from pre-outbreak through several years of aftermath and ended with hope. One problem with this and other zombie stories is that some percentage of long-term survivors are caught off guard by zombies, which seems even less likely than zombies.

This book Was very long but I devoured it . The action was never ending and the characters you just wanted to stand up and cheer for . I am going to give this book to all my zombie loving friends and have them keep passing it on and see if we can get it around the world so we can spread the zombie cheer everywhere . lol . but seriously it was a fantastic but and for the die hard zombie lovers and the newbies alike all will love it.

I just finished reading:
Enclave: A novel of the Zombie Apocalypse

This probably would have been better titled Enclave: Tales from the Zombie Wars. I believe these were initially intended to be a themed set of short stories.
