Amazon did me a great favor when allowing Kindle authors to offer "free" downloads of their work. This gave me an opportunity to sample books in other genres that I don't usually read...with nothing to lose. During the last year, I've become fascinated with "Zombie" stories, finishing quite a few books with more on my TBR list. I found "Life Among the Dead" to be one of the more unique books in this genre. It has a host of likeable characters and many side stories within the main story line, kee...more
I really liked this book. It's probably one of the best zombie books I've read. It meanders, a LOT, but I didn't mind it. There are constantly new characters being introduced and old ones leaving, sometimes temporarily and sometimes permanently. There is a great mix of danger from both zombies and other live people which I think is necessary for a good zombie story. There is also some really great character progression. I even found myself choking up a few times, which is pretty rare for me. I w...more
This book is well written and while the story does meander (as mentioned by another reviewer) it gives you vignettes of life after the zombie apocalypse. These vignettes eventually tie together, showing perfectly the cause and effect of the actions that different characters have on events throughout the story. For me, I enjoyed that it was written from the viewpoint of someone observing these events who somehow also had the ability to get into the minds of the characters. And while my imaginatio...more
Another zombie book down!
I liked the characters and felt that they did grow throughout the book. I was so frustrated by how one of them ended up dieing simply because it shouldn't have happened that way but I think that's why it DID happen that way. Because it was just so frustrating!
I also wasn't to fond of the whole "King" deal. I don't know how it even came about but it was just frustrating.

Love, love, love, this book... Couldn't put this book down, I so can't wait for the second one to come out!
Surprisingly fun zombie apocalypse book. I thoroughly enjoyed the pure escapism and edge of your seat moments.
One of the best zombie/post apocalypse stories I have read. I ended up missing a whole nights of sleep to finish this book, i literally couldn't put it down.
