Well, this was a disappointment. I'd heard so many great things about this series that I was glad for an opportunity to finally read it. unfortunately 1. there wasn't enough dialog. I felt trapped by Mary's wandering mind. She's not a very reliable narrator, and she's too stuck on things. Ocean ocean Travis ocean Gabrielle Travis ocean. I GET IT BUT FYI YOU ARE SURROUNDED BY A ZOMBIE HORDE MAYBE THINK ABOUT IMMEDIATE SURVIVAL FOR A SEC, MKAY? 2. I cannot stress this enough: YOU ARE SURROUNDED BY A ZOMBIE HORDE. MAYBE CONSIDER YOUR IMMEDIATE SURVIVAL. But everybody's all, "let's play house, and not have to worry about these zombies bursting through the front door." I do feel like the selfishness, occasional stupidity, and a general zoned-out-ness of Mary and the rest of the group is what led to many unfortunate deaths, and that pissed me off. 3. I felt like the overall description was misleading. 4. I don't know. I feel like there should be a four, but my overal dissatisfaction is making me unable to think clearly. 
 I will award points to this book for at least making me care about some of the characters that I emoted while reading.
