This book was not at all what I expected. I expected a humorous zombie story, but what I got was a book that really makes you think about what humanity really is. This book made me cry on numerous occasions, but not for the reasons you might expect.

I honestly don't even know how to review this, because it was such a different and beautiful book.

The character development in this story is phenomenal. Benny takes an emotional and mental journey throughout this book, and the really great thing is that you, as a reader, take that journey with him. He starts out completely hating zombies and everything that they are, but as the story comes to a close, he starts to realize that sometimes the humans that are still living are the dangerous and disgusting ones.

I don't want to say too much, because this is one of those books that you really need to read in order to understand.

I will say this, though: you will not regret picking this book up. It is funny, sad, and thrilling. In fact, it is everything you could ever ask for in a novel.
