Rot & Ruin by Jonathan Maberry

4.0

I decided to try out this post-zombie-apocalyptic book after hearing good things about it. I definitely enjoyed it, though it was a little bit more black and white than I would have preferred; there were hints of grey moralities, but for the most part people were either good or bad. It didn't help that I kind of thought the protagonist was an idiot for the first half of the book; I realize he needed to have character growth, but it's tough starting from such a low point. I appreciated the believable nature of this world, and I also appreciated the use of the classic Romero zombie - slow moving, mindless, and only terrifying in numbers. I look forward to having the world fleshed out a little bit more in the sequels.
