After tearing through Book 1 in less than 24 hours, Book 2 is a little more tedious and took a little longer. There is mention of some government involvement leading to the state of havoc and destruction early in the book, I was hoping that was actually going somewhere but, alas, it didn't. Book two is pretty much the same folks running from the infected trying to avoid being killed or eaten by them. There isn't much in the way of story development here. I am hoping for it to all to come together in Book 3!
