I have the omnibus edition of this series and book one is a great start to this disturbing story.
It's set in South Africa, and some of the descriptions give a good glimpse of the setting. There are numerous characters and I liked to see the story from different points of view. It's still not known how the outbreak of the infection started but it soon consumes the world, leaving only a few humans to survive as best as they can.
Some of the scenes are graphic but that's understandable because it is a zombie novel and there's bound to be gore.
I liked the fast-paced writing style and how the characters fit into the plot. There were some surprises and 'oh no, really' - unexpected twists for sure.
Overall, this was an enjoyable (if this genre can be said to be) start to a gruesome and yet insightful series.
Recommended.
