It is an awesome book, but I got caught up in another book, so I had to scrap it. New Years I'm resoluting to only read books that glorify God.

If books like this teach me anything it's that humanity will always find a way to screw things over for themselves.
I absolutely loved the story. I loved the intertwining of different characters on their journey. I loved seeing so much of the journey, from hour zero to 15 years later.

Title -The Living Dead
Author - George A Romero
Genre - Horror, Science-Fiction
Age - Adult
Published - August 2020
Pages - 656
Summary - It all starts with a single dead body when a pair of medical examiners get called to a dead body that wont stay dead. Soon it's spreading and the dead aren't staying dead. While the living tries to survive whilst being attacked by both the living and the dead. An autistic Federal employee starts to track the outbreak to try to collect data for a future nobody Is sure will ever happen.
What I thought about this book - I usually love these types of books, I love a good zombie book, I am a huge walking dead fan. This book however never seemed to end. at over 600 pages long, over 10 hours on audio this book really did seem never-ending. The pace of the book was about as slow as the walkers on the walking dead to be fair.
I found this book didn't keep me interested, My mind kept wandering off and in the end, I had no idea what was going on in this book. So unfortunately I DNF this book at 66% with almost 4 hours still left in the audio (I listen at 2.65 Speed) It has been a long time since I DNF a book but I just couldn't bring myself to finish this one
Would I Recommend - Nope
Would I Read Again - Nope

I really enjoyed this tome. It’s epic in every sense of the word. The writing is vivid, detailed, and beautiful. The story is multilayered, multifaceted, and intoxicating. The characters (major and minor) are interesting, believable, and wonderfully dynamic. The philosophies behind the zombie plague may wax poetic at times, but the ideas themselves are diverse and intriguing. And the zombies themselves...just wow. So many interesting moments and ideas I’ve never really seen before in a zombie story
I can certainly understand the qualms others have with the book, but for me those all wash away when I’m reading it. I was captivated and eagerly eating every word. It’s the world-altering apocalyptic vision of World War Z mixed with the gorgeous writing and character-building of All the Light We Cannot See. You can really tell the love and work author @kraus_author put into it. It’s 4.5/5 ⭐️ from me!!

I am fully in my zombie era right now and this book has solidified that zombies are one of the best horror creatures/monsters. I’ve actually never seen a Romero film but I am already set to have a marathon with my cousin next month. This book was so beautiful and scary and emotional. I loved it so much and I think Kraus was the perfect pick to help finish this novel. (If you haven’t read Whalefall, what are you doing?!? 🐋)
If you’re a person, I think you should read this book - even if you don’t care for horror. This goes beyond “just zombies”. It does get a bit gross, but I believe in you - you can handle it.

The entirety of the first like 500 pages were AMAZING. When we skipped ten years it got really philosophical and deep, so that bogged it down as a horror novel. I feel like it had a good message, but it was given in a super clunky way. But overall, really good!
