Zombies: A Record Of The Year Of Infection by Don Roff
5.0
It's a picture book. About zombies.
Okay, maybe picture book is a bit of a stretch. Perhaps graphic novel would be better? The pictures are excellent, though, and vivid and detailed. It's probably not a good idea, though, to read this while eating.
The detailing is spectacular, and I particularly enjoyed the way that Roff (or Twombly, in this case) attempted to put a scientific, medical analysis onto the zombies, or necrotic infection as it's referred to in the book. A struggling explanation is also given for the infection, which I liked, although I'm not sure how genetically modified food would cause an infection, but I suppose it's not meant to be thought about too deeply. After all, the tools for a thorough investigation aren't given.
I understand that Twombly is meant to be dead at the end of the novel, and that's a bit sad. Haha, okay, I'm pathetic. But given the way some people suddenly became zombies without being bitten and how the people in Churchill upset Marty, the dog, I'm thinking that's most likely what happened.
And I still really want to go to Churchill now.
Very well done, A+!
