If you remember both groups were on their way to Omaha to get to the facility in order to start working on some sort of vaccine. The book starts off pretty much where the last one left off, with Stiles evading the infected in the first chapter. You are then taken between each group from chapter to chapter following their progress.

First Ill go into what I didn’t like about the book. It felt almost too comfortable to me as I read I felt like I pretty much knew who the author wouldn’t kill off so when they were in tough situations I didn’t worry. The ending while I wont spoil it for you, it just didn’t seem realistic to me. It was one of those “Of Course!” moments. Overall I felt the book didn’t have the same suspense as the first story did (imagining thousands upon thousands of infected coming at you in a desert is hard to top), but that’s not to say that it didn’t have of its own moments.

I did like the feel that the country was utterly destroyed. It really helps with the overall atmosphere of the story. There is also a sense of trepidation when the survivors do happen to wander into a city. I really like the climatic part of the story when the survivors (or whats left of them) do reach Omaha. That kept me pretty entertained, plus the fact that I live in Omaha made it pretty interesting.

Overall it was a good book, helped to stave off the boredom during the trip. Also I received the book as a gift for attending Omaha’s zombie walk, which was awesome considering I have been wanting to read this book for a while now.

Overall Id have to give the book a 3.5/5
