A review by plathheart84
Zombie Britannica by Thomas Emson
4.0
This is the first book I have read by this author and I must say if this is anything to go by I will definately be reading the rest of Emsons novels!
As previous reviews have stated the book throws you straight into the action. There is no chance to know the characters in their normal lives before the zombie apocalypse. The story follows survivors who are dotted in various locations around Britain, their stories intertwine at points and each group have traumatic experiences and try to survive them. I love the fact that the characters were not perfect, they all had their flaws. Some of the characters made me extremely angry and some were utterly disgusting. The fact that my feelings for these characters were so extreme speaks volumes about how the author created them and moulded them into heroes and despicable humans you would never want to meet. The only disappointment I felt was that the link between Carrie and her mother was never followed up or linked any more than the reader realising the link. I think this book is a must read for zombie fans and anyone who like myself has their zombie apocalypse survival plan clearly etched in their minds!
