The writing was pretty straightforward without being overly simplistic. So it's a quick read (a little too quick for a five hour flight). And I liked the secondary characters quite a bit. Here's the thing, though. I don't get why authors insist on killing people. I get that there's battles and people die, even people close to you. And plenty of people die in this - I get the magnitude of it. But tertiary characters are fine to get the point across. Secondary and primary characters make it more "realistic" and things. But you get to chose what happens as the author - why would you kill people off? Realism is overrated.
And there's lots of action, which people like. But I had a hard time tracking it in several places. Which tends to happen with me so I don't usually love action that much.
But it was fairly funny. And cute in a few places. So that worked pretty well for me.
Plus, it's about zombies and I actually enjoyed it. So, that's something of a feat right there. And wraps up everything nicely.
