Another enjoyable installment in the Adrian's Undead Diary series. This one was more tense, than the previous book.

Another great instalment. Adrian is surviving on his own and trying to make a new life while remembering his old life. Alone until some new people enter his life.

Half the book is skippable and I did just that. Whenever another character pov appeared the story got repetitive and boring. Otherwise a good read.

I read the first book in the series about 9 months ago. It shouldn't have taken me this long to get back to the story. I enjoyed it nearly as much as the first book, and had a tough time putting it down. I even fell asleep reading one night, staying up a few hours longer than I should have.
I like the alternation between events unknown to Adrian and journal entries in Adrian's diary, and the ways they end up connecting with each other. It's fun to have different perspectives on the same story.
However, one complaint is that there were a few typographical and grammatical errors. At one point, "Brian" was even transposed into "Brain". Not numerous errors, but each one took me out of the story, so I found them a bit frustrating.

In the second book of Adrian's Diary, he fills in some of the gaps from the day it all started to the present. Adrian paints a very good picture of how the world has changed since the outbreak and what he's doing to survive. Unfortunately, it can get a bit repetitive. That's not to say it wasn't interesting because Adrian faces many challenges while scouting for goods. He's smart, he's funny, he's resourceful and logical, he gets hurt and he has nobody to help him as he makes a safe haven for himself. It's so easy to get caught up in the madness with him.
The thing I really like about this series is how real it feels. It definitely has a TWD feel to it. This shit is happening, what are you going to do to survive! I also like that we get little story snippets from other people. Almost every person that Adrian meets is somehow connected to some other part of the story and we get to go back and see it come together. However, I am ready to see Adrian move forward in his story and with the ending of this book we are definitely heading in that direction. Good stuff here! If you're looking for a good zombie book you should definitely check this series out.
