"It's great to live free of the other sheep until you hear the wolves howl."

It’s hard to fathom these freakishly large numbers, but I think Barrow does an excellent job putting it into perspective. My most anticipated chapter is coming up next.

Honestly, we can all be like Dan. Hell, I’m reading g the book right now barely doing anything.

It definitely feels like it follows the flow of World War Z, except focusing on fewer characters (for obvious reasons).
