Rot & Ruin by Jonathan Maberry
3.0

I wanted to like this book more. I really did. It started off great, fast paced, fun characters, funnier dialogue.. and then, things took a turn for the the.. "WAIT WHAT, WHY!"
What really upset me was Tom, the peaceful zombie killer, who basically said killing a zombie without "permission" from the family is like peeing on someone's grave. What. In. The. World. That analogy falls short on so many levels! If you were to defecate on someone's grave it would be inappropriate (to say the least), because there's family who care about the person who you just.. well peed on (that's the point Tom makes).. He said that killing a zombie is awful, because it disrespects the family of said zombie. I'm sorry, but if my dead relative is walking around trying to EAT ME, and spread disease that could end up killing humanity... Please, exterminate them! This is a ZOMBIE novel for peete's sake!! Stop tying to be noble and kill the darn things!

Anyways there was some action in the story, but it didn't seem like to much because there were so many chapters filled with was covered up by long stories and explanations (that I ended up just skimming through)..

I loved the writing style and pace. Wish it would have been a better story, but I'll stick with the series and see how things pan out!
