Let's start with what I liked. The possibilities. The plot and the gory discreptions. This is a quick, easy read with gruesome details befitting a zombie story. Ok, what made this only a 2 star read. The author tried to tackle racism and it backfired so bad. The main character is a bully, just like their father, who is the biggest racist white supremacist bully. For this to be the first book in a series with that type of issue in the readers face. It doesn't matter how well the story is. This one issue took it all away. No way would I recommend this story to a young adult. The best part of the story was the preface.
