The Breadwinner by Stevie Kopas
4.0
This book was freaking amazing! I loved every second of it and it captured me from the very first chapter and held me until the very last. I feel like this is how Fear the Walking Dead, will be because I've often wondered how you could tell a zombie is a zombie if it's not all decomposed. Apparently it's if they are covered in blood and chewing on someones neck, that's a good sign of zombie-ism.
A group of people all trying to survive an apocalyptic world crawling with the undead end up meeting and surviving together. Samson, the breadwinner of his family is still trying to support his family the best he can. The track star, Veronica is trying to get her brother and herself safely out of the city. Ben, Sal and Lucy were content staying in his a small apartment until meeting Veronica and her brother, then they all agree to travel together. They get ambushed and separated, where Ben runs into brothers Clyde and Andrew, and Andrews crazy girlfriend Juliette and they begin searching for Veronica. Will Ben find Veronica before the unthinkable happens? Will they all be able to survive the undead and worse those that are still alive?
I've been wanting to read a good book like this and I'm so glad I got the chance to. I've been reading so many sci-fi books lately that it was good to get into something else for a change. I always love a good zombie book, always! This is the first book in The Breadwinner Trilogy, and I can't wait to read the other two. Stevie Kopas did a fantastic job creating this zombie filled world that I want no part of. So many zombie books are the same because there are only so many ways they can be taken but this was really good. Sure it was a lot like a lot of other zombie books but that doesn't make it bad or predictable.
I was kind of shocked by some of the deaths! It is a horror/ post apocalyptic book so of course some people had to die but I really didn't see at least one of them coming. I liked the ending though, I was hoping it would end something like that. Another good thing was how fast everything started happening, it did not take long to get into this story at all. I loved how everyone ended up being connected throughout the book so there were no loose ends.
