This is one of the few books that describes a zombie outbreak in the Great Northern expanse known as Canada. It’s also one of the few that tells the story of such an outbreak from multiple character/survivor perspectives and makes it work.
Zombie Night in Canada tells the story of several groups of survivors and how they deal not so much with the dead walking but infected people from a strain of what is thought to be rabies. This makes those infected very aggressive and very dangerous.

Zombie Night in Canada: First Period has it all. There is constant action, fighting and survivalism to the extreme. Readers are taken on a journey where they see how this pandemic goes from one individual at a hospital to a complete of society. We are given the points of view from law enforcement officials, military personnel, city officials, and a very clever hockey player.

Zombie Night in Canada is a good, straight forward, first zombie book by fellow Albertan Jamie Friesen. At the end of the book the author makes some comments about his work, which I feel sum up my thoughts nicely. Jamie acknowledges that his goal was not to add anything new to the genre, simply tell a story through the unique Canadian perspective which has certainly been absent within the genre.

I had a really hard time writing this review. Mainly because this book isn't super great, and it isn't absolutely horrible. It's right dead (no pun intended) center middle of the road. The writings decent, the plot moves along at a good pace, with lots of action to keep you involved and routing for the good guys. There is a lot of head hopping, but for me that wasn't an issue. Yet it might have been the only glaring thing in the book was the misuse of multiple points of view.

Zombie Night in Canada is one of those zombie reads that captures everything I love about this genre. The main characters are normal people thrown into a terrifying, overwhelming situation and proceed to make the best of a bad lot, all the while dodging, ducking and diving around the increasing zombie threat.
