Decent but not as good as some of his others. Seemed unnecessarily brutal in parts.

Too many characters, and I don't see enough of them to care very much. I mostly skimmed the back half because there were so many threads I didn't care enough about. There were occasional moments of humor -- the idiots who scolded the manly men about proper word usage instead of worrying about zombies, the men who still seem confused on how human reproduction works, etc. I'm never sure if the author thinks people like this exist, or if he knows people like this and just lives a very different life than me.

The Combat Administrator is the best. She should have had a lot more screen time -- she could have been like Faith and made this a fun read.
