Ya know- I get it. This book requires a certain level of suspension of disbelief considering alllll of the things that are going on. And the ending? I really do get why that frustrated other people.

But considering this is SK’s take on zombies of all things and its supposed to be fantastical and horrifying- I’m ok with both of those things. I dare say I even enjoy the ending. 

I don’t often find that I consider SK’s characters lovable, but most characters in this book are lovable in their own ways. Some stay with you for a while and some leave a bit early, but each one of them made their impact. The relationships between them were particularly enjoyable.

This take on zombies is particularly interesting due to their abilities and the way they function as a group and interact with people. Not all of it makes complete sense, but I am personally ok with that. It made for a fun read with both heartwarming and heartbreaking moments.
