I read a lot of post-apocalyptic books, and generally find little variation in the stories themselves. Sure, the details are different- from the precipitating events to the daily struggles- but for the most part they're all about what it takes to survive the downfall of society. Obviously, I enjoy these types of stories, or else I wouldn't keep reading them. But, aside from a few examples I can think of, I don't get too invested in the stories because they're usually over in a few hundred pages.

But, aside from a few examples I can think of, I don't get too invested in the stories because they're usually over in a few hundred pages. I think that's why I'm digging this series- it goes beyond the immediate aftermath and paints a more complete picture of the long-term consequences, both physical and mental. I care about these characters, their struggles and their victories, however large or small. I like that the good guys aren't always good and the bad guys aren't always bad. There are a lot of shades of gray, and that's just...human. I imagine that writing a series like this is a huge undertaking, and it's not perfect, but to me it has been more profound and immersive than the everyday zombie fare.

Loved it, burned through series Stumbled accross this blog style story of zombie survival and was hooked! This account has it all! Zombies, survival, fights, questioning of morality.

It is a really immersive story, on occasion you want to rush to the compound/Haven and help them survive the next problem. The characters are just normal people in crazy circumstances, attempting to do the right thing and occasionaly failing miserably. But they persevere, and I keep reading.

So I was so into this series that this is the 1st book I actually paid money for! (the first 3 came as a free deal!)But I was so involved with the author, the story and the characters that I just couldn't not continue to read! The story just gets better portraying the last of the human race as survivors, surviving the best they can for good and bad! The heros aren't always heroic and the villains aren't always nasty! Great writing in a genre that has become a little bit stale! And yes.....I have So I was so into this series that this is the 1st book I actually paid money for!

It was okay. Similarly to the second book, I feel like this one dragged too much. I still want to read the next one, but I don't necessarily feel all that motivated. I guess this book could've been better, I almost gave it a two. It was okay. Similarly to the second book, I feel like this one dragged too much.
