There is nothing better on a lazy Sunday than a good book! I’m so glad I started reading Kill Town, USA on a Sunday because I just didn’t want to put it down. It had a fantastic pace and that pulled me through a wonderfully spun story. Zombies are my favorite topic and they are so under represented in literature. It always thrills me to see a good zombie story and this is a great story. The focus is often more on the two main characters, Jack and Audrey, who were easy to identify with and very l...more

"The strong do what they can, the weak do what they must."
Kill Town USA is a surprisingly engrossing short novel about human survival following an outbreak of the undead. Really the only negative aspect I could find relating to the story is that it was so short, I certainly wanted more of the story when I had finished.

I enjoyed the book a lot. It was very detail oriented and filled my imagination through each plot of the story. I've always enjoyed the outdoors as well as undead books, movies, and games. I was able to easily visualize every part of the characters scenarios throughout the story. Joseph Love did an amazing job on this book!
This book was a damn good quick read. The main character was a hell of allot more complex than he first seemed when I started reading. The ending came way too fast and it broke my heart.
Kill Town, USA was a quick read. The characters were well developed, and the plot was direct. I found myself wanting more and am looking forward to Love's next book.
A fast book a bit over 100 pages; finished reading it in one day. The story was easy to follow but got quite predictable; it did keep you interested most of the time. The ending was unexpected but quite fine. The characters were amusing and emotional at times. A fine book.

Decent little story. It's a new take on the zombie apocalypse. Overall, a good read.
Witty, endearing, and hilariously dangerous!
A quick fun read about surviving the zombie apocalypse. Complex, beyond what could be expected for the short novel with the (special) comic book cover. Would definitely recommend to a wide variety of readers.

This is the first zombie book I read and now my curiosity is piqued.
I liked the story quite a lot, even though it sometimes felt like a canvas for a longer book. There are a dozen well developed "situations", but the link between them doesn't flow as well.
If this short story ever evolves into a novel, I'll be very interested to read it.
