This book is written solely for movie rights or rather, hopeful movie rights. That’s the cash gimmick. The result is an action driven book, complete with typical ultra violent shock value, stereotype characters including the all powerful, all knowing, never flawed female. So that’s the bad part. The good part is the evil characters actually have background and aren’t instantly villains. The hero characters are after thoughts. Ultimately the series is better then most and one if the few non racist apocalypse books right now. I only recommend if you like the zombie genre or like reading screenplays before their maybe movie debut.
