Just a small word of warning if you have not read books 1-6 then don’t bother with this one!!
A not so gentle reintroduction
to the main groups, there is so much loss and grief still abound in this new
chapter of the DEAD series, it’s almost heartbreaking.
TW Brown does
brilliantly well with pulling at your emotions whilst giving you a good
gorefest; there are some really happy moments too so don’t think it’s all doom
and gloom.
The change in mood from
Steve to Billy is refreshing as a new "eye" is cast over the
situation; almost a naivety.
It is hard to review
what is going on with each group without giving some of the suspense away as it
is so packed with action and the rotation style of writing (a beautiful nod to
George R.R.Martin) kept me riveted to my seat which was just as well
with all the cliffhangers that TWB throws at you.
I am loving the new
editions of Katrina and Simon, please don’t let them be bad guys or get killed
off too quickly.
I have so many
questions!
What's with the creepy
kid zombies, are they evolving? If so, into what? And why!
And the whole “nukes on
a train” thing….
Ohmergerd at Kevin at
the end, the ultimate white knuckle grip on my poor Kindle.
I am always amazed at
the dystopian world that is painted by the zompoc authors, nothing goes well,
no one finds any happiness, the constant struggle, the unending flood of human
depravity, how strong is the will to survive? And for what? I guess that’s why
I really stopped to think when the London, UK, crew stop for a drink and talk about
happy memories.
The books must be getting shorter as I managed to munch my way through this in a six hour sitting! write faster!
My parting shot has to
be…. What is it with cats and zombie writers?
