Huh. 
 I actually really enjoyed this. More than I thought I was going to. The first little bit was kind of slow and confusing--what with being dumped right into the middle of people's lives and all that. But the book quickly hit its stride and then did not stop. 
 I really like ensemble casts and this book took the threads of many different stories and pulled them all together. The zombie mythos here was fresh and interesting. And downright actual-facts creepy. Some of the scenes in this book were seriously horrifying, and there was one point near the end where I wasn't actually sure if I was going to be able to read without skimming because of the gore factor. 
 So. Not for the faint of heart. But definitely worth a look if you're into zombies.
