I almost completely loved this. A talented, literate writer doing a post-apocalyptic zombie novel with plot, action, and a kick-ass 15 year-old girl protagonist. Some really beautiful language, elevating some grotesque zombie business to a kind of Resident-Evil-meets-The-Stand-meets-Cormac-McCarthy-meets-Faulkner. The ending bugged a bit, but that's not much of a quarrel. This is what The Passage should have been, and wasn't.
