This book is incredible. I really really enjoyed it the narrator is phenomenal. It just drew me in I didn't want to stop listening to it. I was really upset at the end because the ending ended so abruptly that was before I knew that it was a series of books the second one picked right up where this one ended excellent excellent book. If you're into the whole zombie thing you'll really enjoy this book.

I've listened to a lot of "zombie books" and this one is pretty good. Zach has been through a lot on his journey so far and the ending of the book most definitely has me ready for part 2!

Zombie Apocalypse meets "The Little Engine that Could", Great EOW Classic Zombie Apocalypse narrative, Most interestingly, told through the eyes of a teenage boy whom had already lost everything. The perspective easily allowed me to float back to my youth providing a unique experience versus other Zombie storylines, i.e. what a 40 year old (me) would feel and do given the circumstances. A , I would write more if this were a compensated review - not the case - hence, I'm starting book two now...

Out of all the “zombie apocalypse” novels I’ve read (and there have been dozens), ‘Zombie Rules’ is pretty high up there for several reasons. First, the writing of the characters and character development keeps the plot engaging. I wanted to learn more about Zach and those in his group. Second, while there is plenty of zombie action, the author doesn’t rely on zombie encounters and gore to carry the plot. Lastly, some novels in this genre are clearly written by novice authors who rely on worn out tropes and overused literary devices for the genre. Graham Halstead seems like a more experienced writer and it shows. The only real issues I have with the book is that Zach really comes off like a pretentious jerk. His vocabulary is not on par with the vast majority of teenagers and it makes his dialogue awkward and irritating at times. There are some other places where it seems like words were substituted from a thesaurus to add sophistication to the writing. It would have been okay to just use standard words. Two examples of this are the words “opine” and “edify”. No teenager tells another person that they are going to “edify” them with regards to instructing or correcting them. Additionally, the characters are always “opining” this or that. It made the dialogue clunky at times.
