I was incredibly surprised by how many 4 and 5 star reviews this as on here. Having just finished it up I'm left feeling that it was a chore to get through and I kind of wish I had just skipped this one and went right on to the 5th book.
I know everything is relative, and my feelings for this book are not based on it as a individual work, but as part of a larger series. Maybe if I had read this one first I might have liked it, bust as part of the series it felt like a huge let down.

I actually picked up this book first - without knowing it was a series. About halfway through I realized that something was off, and the rest of the books were listed in the back. There were some serious questions I had: Why do the others think Webb is so voatile, and the 'zombies' so dangerous? I stopped and bought the rest of the series, which didn't particulary clear up that much. The 'zombies' seem to be 'attacking' based on interpretation (really, more pitiful than anything else unless they...more

As a huge David Moody fan and one that really loved the Autumn series that concluded the main story line at the end of book three, I went into this one with some trepidation and reservations as I could not see it living up to the quality of the trilogy. After reading this I can safely say that my initial concerns were spot on. At best, this story would have been better off being played out as additional POV's during the trilogy, rather than attempting to make a successful story on its own...more

When I first started reading Moody's Autumn series, I was completely drawn in. Moody's work is stark but it grabs you right away. With each word, the reader is forced to place themselves in the place of the survivors of the zombie apocalypse. Moody has once again re-entered his post apocalyptic world to give us yet another story of survivors. What started out as innovative and new has simply become repetitive and boring.

In AUTUMN: DISINTEGRATION by David Moody, two groups of survivors develop very different strategies in dealing with the hordes of the risen dead now threatening them. The first group picks up weapons and tries to destroy them. The second hide themselves away and try not to be noticed. The conflict amps to a new level when these two groups are forced to work together and the zombies begin to regain awareness.

Ever finish a book and say to yourself, "Whew, what a ride!" ?
That's how I feel right now.
The fourth installment in the Autumn Zombie series by David Moody, Autumn: Disintegration takes you off in an entirely new direction than the previous books. I had bemoaned the fact that my previous read in the series, billed as 3.5, told me the ending of what happened to the previous group of survivors, worried it would spoil the rest of the books for me. I was soon to discover that wasn't the case.

I am a big fan of the Hater series by Moody and picked up the Autumn series thinking it would be just as good. I should, perhaps, reconsider how often I go around thinking. I managed to finished Autumn, Autumn: Disintegration and Autumn: Purification and am giving them all the same reviews here just so that I might save another bibliophile the same fate.

With the world at an end, Moody throws us right into the action and turmoil of the apocalyptic world. Zombies are everywhere and people are just starting to try and get along with strangers to make survival possible.
They think they're safe in the cement fortress, but soon they find that they were wrong - one of them gets sick and they realize nothing is in their control.
The zombies become more aggressive and they are forced to move their home base...but to where?

After reading the 3rd installment of the Autumn series, I was very excited for this one to be released. In the context of the series, it is a good continuation of the Autumn world, although I am a little bit disappointed and curious as to why Disintegration branches off from the storyline we've been following (although I did catch a hint of the other group's exodus to the island with the mention of the plane overhead).

I love the different take on Zombies in this. They're not your run of the mill flesh eating monsters. Actually, I'd say they're more of a tidal wave of nasty, decaying flesh that'll swallow you whole if you don't move out of its path. Moody did a great job with descriptions on this; I could practically smell, and even taste in the back of my throat the vile nastiness of weeks old cadavers roaming around in their own filth. Great read. I recommend to all.
This was a good book, but I was a little disappointed about where it went. I thought it was going to follow the previous 3 by continuing their story, but instead it focuses on another group of people instead. Still a good story, but I was looking forward to seeing what happened to the group in the previous books in this series. It does tie up nicely at the end though, and I'm glad I read the whole series, even if this one did take an angle I wasn't expecting.
This is the *final* book of the series, and it tells the story in a different way; it takes the story to *other* survivors that DIDN'T make it to the helipad, and had to "tough it out" on the mainland. At the very end it's a tough Epilogue but a 'wrap up' that you didn't expect....(Or if you watch "The Walking Dead" maybe you would lol) but well worth it.
Though I was not sure that he could keep on surprising me, Moody continued to blow me away in this book. Although some of the things seemed a bit outlandish, it is a zombie book – some ridiculousness is allowed. I loved this book and had to start the next book as soon as I put this one down!
A different group of survivors from the other Autumn Books....Same story line and to be honest by now the storyline is getting old.....If you have read the other 3 Autumn books I wouldn't bother reading this one....however standing alone on it's own it's worth a read.
I randomly grabbed this book at the library because I liked the cover. I had no idea who the author was and no clue that it was part of a series. It's an interesting take on the zombie apocalypse and it intrigued me so much that I'm looking to read more from this author.
David Moody is back! I have been a long time fan of Moody's Autumn series. In this book Moody
introduces us to a new brand of survivors who struggle day to day trying to stay alive and how they
cope with the fact that the world they know is no more. I loved the book. I wasn't able to put it down.
Once again, Moody doesn't disappoint.

Next installment due out in March. I hope Moody wraps things up. The first three were great, this one brought in a whole new group of survivors. Not so great. I feel like he is just stringing us along.
I was on the edge of my seat for this entire book… I just couldn’t wait to find out what happens to the survivors. After Purification, I was unsure of where Moody was going to take the story. The way the book ended, it didn’t leave much room for continuation on the same frantic level as previously. Thankfully Moody found a great way to continue the main storyline by introducing some new groups. I didn’t love these characters as much as the first ones, but they were interesting. I sped through th...more
ok this is hard for me.. i Really liked the book. It was weird not to include the people from the first 3 books though.. and i heard this might be the last book in the series?? If so, then i will be extremely upset with this series end.
Another brilliant book following the survivors of a viral attack. I liked the fact that the author interposes characters from earlier books into the later ones.

i couldn't get in to this book, i am not saying that its bad or good, i just couldn't get in to it!!
I love this whole series in general. I'm a sucker for anything post apocalyptic/zombie themed.
brilliant brilliant brilliant. can't stop worrying about the guy left in the hotel.
Fourth one in the series, interesting take on end of the world scenario.
More of the same from this consistent series
i personally think this is the best in the series so far even with all new characters.....great story telling and the description of the dead bodies are awsome!!
Horrible book. Nothing to do with the series. Could've been okay on it's own but I was disappointed.
Fantastic read! Loved it. I'll edit my review when i'm at a desktop but just thought I'd write a quick note.
