I received a free copy of Epidemic for my honest review. I had never read a novel with Zombies before, and with this book, I was delightfully surprised. Book 1 of Mad World tells of how the Zombie epidemic came to be. Alyssa, has to grow up fast, be brave and strong when they try to find their families only to realize they may all be dead. The end leaves you hanging when the group notices something different with the little boy Luke. An awesome book, I read it in one sitting, it was quite an action packed page turner! ( )

Wow! What a way to start this year! First, let me start by saying that this was the very first book I have ever read that is entirely filled with zombies and ONLY zombies. No other supernatural creatures. Go ahead, gasp in horror, I'll wait. :P *clears throat*

The first thing that I loved about this book is that the action starts right away. It doesn't run around in circles for ages before the story starts. It throws you right in the middle of everything and it takes you along for the ride. I loved that. It's been a while since I've read a book that manages to do that and keep me interested.

Another thing that I loved was that, while I thought things were very unfair at some point, the plague doesn't forgive anyone. Even if it's a loved character or a strong character, or a character you might hate. It doesn't matter. Everyone is vulnerable and it can happen at any time. I think that also helps showing how deadly this virus really is and it shows how painful it can become to see that the ones you love are in danger. It kept me on my toes, because I can never realize who's going to be next. One minute I'm thinking a certain character is safe and healthy and then in the next page he/she turns into a zombie. I loved that.

I like Alyssa. I like that she's mature enough to know and accept the fact that sometimes you have to do some things you don't like in order to survive in a situation like in the book. I'm only hoping that she and the others survive this whole thing.

I can't say enough about this book. I loved it enough to stay awake the entire night and read it. I actually want to go read the next one, Mad World: SANCTUARY, now. So, if you like zombies, go ahead and read this book. You won't be sorry! ( )

I do not read a lot of books about zombies. They are not something I enjoy reading about. However, I love reading apocalypse books. It is entertaining reading how others think about how the world will either change or end.

This book is the first in the series. It starts out with teenagers on a trip where they learn something major has happened back into their home state. When they get to their home state they learn what has happened and try to save themselves and the few people they have picked up along the way.

There are several characters in this book. I was reading a .pdf version that was converted to a .mobi file. Sadly, .pdf does not convert well to a .mobi file.

This book is a quick read and interesting. I liked how the author arranged the characters; bring some in to the story and removing some at the same time.

If you are looking for an interesting quick weekend read, then click on over to Amazon and get this great new book.

Thanks for an interesting read Samaire.

The bunnies and I give this book 4 carrots.
