Manhunt by Gretchen Felker-Martin
4.0
Easy to read. Most difficult words are medical ones and those are usually explained within the story.
Slow start: introduction of this new post apocalyptic male zombie world, main characters and concepts.
Medium middle with tense parts: tension starts building up, conflict set up and red flags are placed.
Fast end: imo, the last third of the book went by super quick. Lots of action, plot and character development.
As a zombie fic, it's amusing and pretty gruesome in some parts. The more medical parts are quite gruesome, while regular fights (guns, knives) are decent.
As social commentary I am conflicted. While most characters are complex, the overall message is muddled. I agree with it overall, but many (smaller) points are debatable. I think it works as a great starting off point for discussions about today's society and human psychology, identity and sexuality.
