I liked it, CW is an amazing writer, but the narrative jumps around a lot and it was hard to keep pace. Intentional, I’m sure, but be forewarned. Also, prose is pretty dense for a zombie novel. Lost forward momentum a few times but worth the slog.

Gory horror and main characters are extremely unlikeable. Only made it this far in because I didn’t have anything else to read.
