Rot & Ruin by Jonathan Maberry
3.0

This was a generally well-written children's book of a zombie apocalypse. But the characterizations somewhat lessened my enjoyment of the story --

* Benny wanted to be treated as an adult, but he certainly didn't act like one. His constant questioning of just about everything drove me nuts. And at 15 years old in a zombie-infested world, I would have expected him to be more mature.
* Likewise, Tom's continual way of "talking down" to Benny also annoyed me.

However, the story was fast-paced and had a unique and interesting plot. Be prepared for a lot of violence, though. I'm not so sure the level of violence was suitable to this book's target audience.
