While I don't mind if this were nothing but an edge-of-your-seat Zombie Thriller (<i>I guess it's a whole genre now? LOL!</i>), I'm so glad to read that it goes much deeper than that, into the psychology of people who must live in a world where zombies are harsh reality. I think I'd really root for these two brothers as well. <br /><br />Thanks for the review!Enbrethilielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03414765854670926854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8748092811661673218.post-2560829758266092312011-12-09T10:01:05.360-05:002011-12-09T10:01:05.360-05:00Dang girl...this is a FANTASTIC review...I love th...Dang girl...this is a FANTASTIC review...I love that the characters are so great!

It was such a great mix of scary and funny and heart-wrenching. All the quotes you picked depicted that perfectly!<br /><br />SO SO SO GOOD!!
