  <default-description>Jonah Caine, a lone survivor in a zombie-infested world, struggles to understand the apocalypse in which he lives. Unable to find a moral or sane reason for the horror that surrounds him, he is overwhelmed by violence and insignificance.   After wandering for months, Jonah's lonely existence dramatically changes when he discovers a group of survivors. Living in a museum-turned-compound, they are led jointly by Jack, an ever-practical and efficient military man, and Milton, a mysterious, quizzical prophet who holds a strange power over the dead. Both leaders share Jonah's anguish over the brutality of their world, as well as his hope for its beauty. Together with others, they build a community that reestablishes an island of order and humanity surrounded by relentless ghouls.   But this newfound peace is short-lived, as Jonah and his band of refugees clash with another group of survivors who remind them that the undead are not the only-nor the most grotesque-horrors they must face.</default-description>

    <body><![CDATA[Kim Paffenroth is one of my new favorite authors! I know, you may think I am weird for liking zombie novels, but some of them are so good once you get past the gore! Dying to Live isn't big on the gore, and it tells a lot about how the surviving humans get by, and that is what I love about it.

    <body><![CDATA[Dying to live is a fast-paced novel about a survivor making his way among the living dead. After some time of just surviving day by day, the man finally comes to live within a community of interesting and well-prepared survivor.

    <body><![CDATA[Mr. Paffenroth's book, Dying to Live is apart from other zombie literature a new &quot;taste&quot; for the wicked. The philosophy behind zombies is done really well here. The writing is clean, neat yet whimsical in parts and the story itself deals with ideology of our nation...racism and war, yet le...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/14343135">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[An enjoyable debut. Far from the high literature that the author draws his inspiration, but as a piece of zombie fiction, it will likely endure as a classic of the genre. Paffenroth’s stature as an intellectual and theologian helps elevate the zombie genre to a level of respectability and for that...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/24261202">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I really like Permuted Press, but this one just didn't do it for me.  <br/><br/><em>Dying to Live</em> explores how humans interact after zombies overrun America and spends less time on the fight against the undead.  It is fast-paced, contains some fairly gruesome scenes and manages to add a few new ideas ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/5057416">more...</a>]]></body>
