So I started reading The Forest of Hands and Teeth at about 10 AM, and after various interruptions and errands and such, finished at about 1AM. I've been wanting to read it for a few months, after noticing the pretty cover in Barnes and Nobles, and reading the oh-so-familiar summary.

Now that I'm finished...well, somehow it managed to be a compelling read despite several pretty major flaws. Like: 
 a) the main character being a selfish, obsessive, often petty, and continually dissatisfied...well, bitch. Ish. 
 b) her main man spending the majority of the book being about as reliable as a support beam made of tuna

I thought it was really interesting to have this kind of isolated world where the zombie problem hasn't been solved, just adapted to...
