I didn't stop reading until the end. And my mother was witness to my sleepless night. You know you love a book, a book you can't put down, when your eye's veins explode and you look like a 27 Days After zombie. 
 I won't spoil this book for you, because the book in itself is a complete journey. 
 Can I say at least that I was fangirling with Sarge's badassness? And drooling over all the mythological stuff? Yes, Melanie we have the same tastes. 
 I must admit that I'm a bit jelly of M.R. Carey's book because I've always wanted to write this kind of zombie book, one with an amazing character drive. However it also feels I've been waiting all my life (or at least when I stumpled upon the zombie genre) to read this novel. And I feel lucky my Waterstone's bookshop had it on display nonstop. So I bow to you Waterstones. 
 This survivalist thriller has become my favorite book of the year.
