And then like Pandora, opening the great big box of the world and not being afraid, not even caring whether whats inside is good or bad. Because its both. Everything is always both. But you have to open it to find that out. I have to say that I'm not much of a traditional zombie fan - moaning, slow-walking dead people are neither interesting nor scary to me - but there is nothing traditional about this book.Firstly, this is not an old school "how to get away from the zombies and stay alive"Creepy, eerie, & unexpected! I enjoyed this one!
Rating: 3.5 stars
Post apocalyptic is definitely my jam but after reading so many, some of them start blending into each other.This one reminded me A LOT (like way too much) of The Passage. Both good but not amazing. Now I need to check the movie!

And as much as I would want to classify this book, I feel like it would be irreverent of me to dub the book as this clichéd genre because
