I highly recommend this book to anyone who is a fan of historicak dystopian settings with zombies.
The writing style was easy to read and the plot was interesting enough throughout the book causing this book to become a page turner for me.
The whole story constantly kept me wondering who the biggest monster is: the zombies or human beings? I never knew how to trust as a character. Some seemed nice while they were fully capable of stabbing others in the back.
Apart from that I also like how even shamblers (as they are called in the book) evolve, making things even more tense and scary.
I am looking forward to reading the second book!
