dark tense fast-paced

Plot- or character-driven? A mix
Strong character development? It's complicated
Loveable characters? It's complicated
Diverse cast of characters? Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

This book…..holy shit. Phenomenal. The story is dark and drew feelings out of me I didn’t expect to be feeling. This book immediately jumped towards the top of my favorites.

I read other reviews regarding Stenson’s lack of quotation marks with the dialogue. Maybe he just doesn’t like to use them, but I thought it helped convey a sense of paranoia and immersed the reader in the chaos.

For the story and writing alone I'd go 4 or 4.5. I listened as an audiobook and the excellent narration enhanced the story and made this a full out 5 for me. In the zombie apocalypse, the only survivors are meth addicts and getting spun makes the difference between life and death.

The first three words to come to mind to describe this novel are Amazing,disturbing, and grotesque. very depressing with humorous lines and drama and fear all mixed in. Its the kind of book you recommend to someone just to make them feel the awesome anguish you experienced while reading it.
