Review - Zombie Fallout - 3 of 5 stars

Zombie Fallout - Mark Tufo

Zombie books aren't my usual fodder and I wanted to broaden my horizons. The book offended me in a number of places; the way that Tufo wrote some of the female characters just turned me off. Also the quick-fire humour at the start relied heavily on American knowledge which I don't have and I felt the wind as they flew straight over my head. The plot was inventive, the idea of undead intelligence executed (pardon the pun) very well. Overall the descriptions of the action were quite strong, although this did lapse in places where it felt like the author wasn't invested in the action; particularly when it wasn't the main character being involved.

By the time I finished book 1, it did not leave me wanting to reach for book 2.
