I received this book for free from Goodreads First Reads in exchange for an honest review...
This was a good book. I wouldn't categorize it as great, but it was a worthy read. This isn't a light-heart, easy-going book though. It is violent, graphic, gruesome, and often times very crude. I don't recommend this book for your young, zombie-obsessed teenagers. There is sex, explicit details, and jammed-pack with graphic content that will make any Walking Dead fan blush. Which, in all honesty, is why I liked it so much. What zombie book wouldn't be great without blood and guts in every single chapter. Add serial killers, serial rapists, zombie children, psychotic grandmas, and lots of bugs. All the ingredients you need for a killer read!
There are some major flaws though that I think the author should be aware of.
#1 There are a LOT of typos and grammar errors. I've caught a handful of them in every chapter. Not bad enough where you couldn't understand the sentence, but frequent enough where it was difficult to overlook and became annoying.
#2 It was repetitive. One main character would describe a certain scene or another individual, then a second main character would describe that EXACT same scene or individual. Exactly. The amount of repetitiveness made the book agonizingly slow and increasingly boring. You don't need to explain how a scenery or how someone looks, the same way, over and over again. We got it the first time.
#3 There was to much filler. It started to become boring and bland in certain areas, and I began to feel like the book dragged on for no reason. The author focused to much on unimportant details (or repeated the same details way to many times) and dug far to deep into everyone's thought process, just to add some length to this book. The filler (almost) killed the story.
#4 Way to many point-of-views. I enjoyed reading about Marcus' point of view (the author did a stellar job writing this disturbed serial-killer's character) and I enjoyed Maxine's point of view (coming from a half-zombie child, it just topped things off beautifully), and Valerie added a little more of an innocent, sweet point of view to lighten up this already-dark novel. But everyone else felt pointless, worthless almost, to include so much of. To top it off, the author would throw in random characters, scattered here and there with a few chapters, that would make it very confusing. In so many chapter, I was wondering whose point of view we were on and what character was the focus at the moment. It might've been easier if the author labeled the characters name on what point-of-view it was currently on (since it changed with every chapter), just to clarify a few things. It became sloppy, messy, and very unorganized. Stick with the most important, and try to keep it at a minimum, instead of being all over the place with half a dozen different point of views.
