3.5 or 4 still not sure
I did enjoy this book, I think it is a very different take on the Zombie culture. They are very unusual and very revolting. I think they however did confuse me slightly in this book. One minuet they are described as brainless (the beginning) then they set traps for the kids. I'm not sure the writer really knew at the beginning what the zombies he was writing about were. However towards the middle of the book I understood fully, They aren't brainless (as often describes), they have however lost all sense of morality and personality. Their actions remind me a lot like cavemen, ruthless feral but still able to think of a plan.
Another Issue I had were a few of the characters.It's is not so much the main characters, most of them I really liked. Arran was believable as the leader, I liked the difference between what he said and what he thought. I also liked Maxie's plot, she really grows as a character starting off as quite a weak fragile character to a strong voice. I liked Sam's development through the book, his story really doesn't ever stop being action packed.
Some of the characters however I hated first being Achilleus who was very annoying (unless he was fighting)when he spoke it was always negative however he was also stupid and big headed. I know that is the point but he was a character I didn't care about at all, in fact I wanted him to die (yet he was one of the good characters). I also didn't like David at all (he is at the end of the book). I also found Nick and Rachel's part in the story obvious and pointless (just another obstacle)
I thought the pacing of the book was nice, quite fast however I found it hard to get into to begin with for some reason. I liked the way it switched between characters keeping up the suspense. It is a pretty easy read and short.
The last chapter was effective making me want to see what will happen.
