..."This is a bad, bad business. Whole world gets wiped out, and people are stil preying on one another. People just don't learn." ... 
 I really did not know what to expect with this book when I finally decided to pick it up. All I knew was that it was about zombies. Boy was I wrong. This book is about so much more than zombies. This book talks about the possibility about what life could look like afterwards. How the world changes. Jonathan Maberry turns an eye towards human nature and how people react to how the world nearly ended. I enjoyed every second of this book. It was funny, sad, action-packed, and made you think more than once. I liked the way it made you think about what zombies really are. 
 I really enjoyed the main character Benny who is a 15 year old boy who decides to join the family business with his brother Tom who is a bounty hunter. Tom takes Benny out into the Rot & Ruin, a place outside of their small fenced in towns where zombies roam free and there no laws to abide by. As Benny is goes out into the wild, Tom shows him a whole new world that most people in their town has turned a blind eye on, and even given him a different outlook at how he sees zombies. They used to be people too. 
 If you get the chance to read this book I would definitely suggest giving it a try.
