Apocalypse

Review: I’ll admit
that I have become addicted to zombie apocalypse fiction. I'm pretty sure it was after reading Feed by Mira Grant (the best zombie novel ever, by
the way. Read my review of Feed here). I have been devouring everything zombie apocalypse
based since then. I've also been
sleeping with the lights on, and a baseball bat under the bed.
I loved
Apocalypse Z: The Beginning of the End by Manel Loureiro, which was translated into
English by Pamela Carmell, and it has been added to my list of the top ten zombie novels. I literally had to force myself to
put my Kindle down long enough to write papers, eat, go to class and go to
work. I stayed up way past my bedtime
for three nights in a row, unable to stop reading long enough to get any
sleep. I was sure that this novel was
going to end in tragedy. The engaging first person narrative, and the story about the nameless lawyer
and his cat searching for a safe place during the nightmare of a zombie
apocalypse, kept me on the edge of my seat.
I became so emotionally involved in Apocalypse Z: The Beginning of the
End that I found myself getting upset when things looked bleak. This is a definite must read for lovers of
zombie fiction!
