The Last by Michael John Grist

This isn't horrific, but it surely isn't good. I made it 45% before DNF. Slightly spoilery review, so if you have any desire to read this, skip the rest of my review.
The moment the reveal of the cause of the apocalypse was the main character, Amo, HAVING SEX.... I knew I wasn't going to last. I very quickly became irritated with the writing style and I did not enjoy the way this story was headed. Amo was frustrating. Hed begin thinking about how he should be a better person and not mindlessly kill all of the zombies.... then guess what he would do..... kill all the zombies he came in contact with. He kept focusing on this woman, Lara, he had ONE date with and how he was convinced she had survived, when literally no one else has.
This was ludicrous. I can't do it anymore. I feel horrible. I wanted to enjoy this, but I just didn't.
