A much, much better book than the cover implies, but those attracted by the cover (and legacy) alone will not be disappointed. Compelling reading, insightful social commentary, plenty of gore, and an ending which - all things considered - is inescapable if frustrating after epic-length 650 pages. Recommended on a number of levels - genre to philosophy. ( )

I really enjoyed this tome. It’s epic in every sense of the word. The writing is vivid, detailed, and beautiful. The story is multilayered, multifaceted, and intoxicating. The characters (major and minor) are interesting, believable, and wonderfully dynamic. The philosophies behind the zombie plague may wax poetic at times, but the ideas themselves are diverse and intriguing. And the zombies themselves...just wow. So many interesting moments and ideas I’ve never really seen before in a zombie story

I can certainly understand the qualms others have with the book, but for me those all wash away when I’m reading it. I was captivated and eagerly eating every word. It’s the world-altering apocalyptic vision of World War Z mixed with the gorgeous writing and character-building of All the Light We Cannot See. You can really tell the love and work author @kraus_author put into it. It’s 4.5/5 ⭐️ from me!! ( )

Great audiobook for October ! ( )

If books like this teach me anything it's that humanity will always find a way to screw things over for themselves.
I absolutely loved the story. I loved the intertwining of different characters on their journey. I loved seeing so much of the journey, from hour zero to 15 years later. ( )

Great book! ( )
