I liked how much things happened in chapter 7, and a lot more is going on around Garraty other than just the focus of him.

One issue I have with this book is that nearly every spectator has some relation to Garraty. I get that he’s the main character of this book however I would like it if the other characters had more representation such as Olson, or Collie Parker as they’re only there when they need to make a comment about another walker or to curse to one another (mainly Parker’s whole character so far)

I’m liking the introduction to Stebbins character as now he finally spoke up and isn’t the “silent one who’s expected to get the first ticket” and I like how more deaths have occurred.

So far it’s pretty good, I kinda don’t like how Garraty acts towards the others in the beginning, especially towards Stebbins however I do like the other characters and each of their personalities such as Pete’s, Arthur’s, Olson’s and even Barkovitch and Harkness.
