Even though this was a short read, it packed a lot into it. A different take on the zombie genre. The story line was interesting and kept a fast pace. When a virus hits, it sets the world into a slow chaos. There are food shortages, rations, riots and the virus itself. Some people get the virus and pull through. Some become zombie like. These zombies can be docile but some can get agitated. In this world our main character, 16 year old Christian, is struggling trying to keep his family alive. As the world falls apart around him, he has life and death decisions that he has to make.
For most part I liked the book. I did feel that the kids in the book were way more mature than I would have expected. They are more mature than a bunch of adults in the book. While this may happen with one or two, it seems like every teen that you meet has a solid head on their shoulders. A bit unbelievable. Still, I will be continuing with the story. Would like to see how it ends up.
