Bigger. Badder. The whole disaster so far in one volume. Warren is a work-obsessed journalist living in Central London. Quite happy to live out his monotone life, each day resembles the next until the fateful day he encounters an octogenarian zombie shambling down the middle of the road. Great The First Clusterf*ck combines the first three books of the darkly humourous zombie series by UK author Dawn Peers. Loved by readers and reviewers, it follows Warren's poor attempts at survival and leadership in a world he wasn't prepared for and that no one expected. He is an anti-hero of the apocalypse genre. He doesn't know how to use guns, and he doesn't want to save everybody. He just wants to survive. Is that too much to ask? Praise for Great Bitten and Dawn Peers “If you liked fast paced, gore splashed zombie realness, then this is the book for you… Full of blood, guts, hammers and axes, Great Bitten might just make you reconsider whether living through the zombpocalypse would be as fun as you think.” “… characters are clearly defined” "...an excellent, sharp, insightful writer" "An absolutely immense read." "A different take on the genre. Ordinary people,not gun toting superhumans. Can't wait for the next book in the series."

I really enjoyed this collection. The protagonist, Warren, was a bit hard to like at first, but his character developed for the better as the story went on. I loved the UK setting and the use of realistic people and resources. I was so engrossed that I read well into the night. Loved the zombies, the baddies, and the supporting characters. Now I am keen for the next instalment.
Some characters are well developed. The story keeps moving with frequent irritants due to lack of editing. There are also clear issues in the storyline, like situations where they need to eat, have opportunity and don’t. Overall the story is entertaining and keeps you interested. It just needs a fair bit of editing still.
What a fantastic set of books, hooked from the first paragraph, with characters you will love to hate, others you can relate to. 10/10 for these books.
