Whilst killing time in town, as I was too early for my bus, I wondered into Waterstones and browsed their selection of recommendations, which is where I came across this book, I started to read the front page and was gripped so I had to buy it and then I carried on reading it whilst I was on the bus.

So, what attracted me to it? The recommendation said something about it being "The Walking Dead meets [an author sorry I forgot]" and the cover was bright yellow, so that helps.

Now, I love zombies and I'm attracted to pretty much anything zombie, but I'm sure you'll agree that the genre is getting a little over-saturated and stale. They're the 'in' monster, like how vampires were a few years ago, so I was a little hesitant until I started reading. I was hooked.

It's such a fresh and interesting take on the genre, it really is. The narrative is from different character's points of view and you honestly get involved with their thoughts. The science of the zombies is rooted in actual documented science that I'd seen on a BBC documentary.

Get this book, read it and love it! It's great!
