Everything is pretty much revealed to you up front with this book. On one hand, you have to know what it's about, otherwise, why would you want to read it? On the other, you can probably guess what's going to happen along the way from reading the jacket summary.

While reading this, it kept playing out in my head as a movie from the 80s as a low budget cousin of Return of the Living Dead. If it were a movie, I'd rank it as something you find while flipping channels that keeps you interested enough to want to watch it. Coming from me, that's not a bad thing at all as I love b-movies!

The story moves along well and the pages go pretty quickly. I got sucked into the story and thought it was a fun read. I don't know if I'd recommend it for hardcore zombie fans (whatever that may be) as there isn't a lot of zombie action in most of the story. It's definitely a different kind of zombie story that's more about the fans and players of football than the zombies actually playing football.
