Unfortunately, while I didn't dislike this book nothing really stood out for me in it. It started out with a couple of stories that iirc had a lot of rape in them that I didn't really enjoy reading about, and then nothing else really made a big big impression. I'm not a big fan of the zombie apocalypse scenario so that story didn't really do it for me--especially since the hero is in the middle of one but also wants to watch movies about it. Let's just say I don't relate!
