I bought and read this book a few years ago, thinking it would be fresh and exciting and, although the idea behind it is an intriguing one, I simply didn't find it exciting.
I got bored very quickly with this one, but kept reading, thinking something had to happen soon.
soon...
soon...
Three quarters way through the book and I was still waiting for it to get started. It was rather slow.

The idea of a small enclosed village sealed off from the zombie infested world was great, and I loved how the leaders of this strange little village were using the outside world against the the residents, scaremongering them into behaving. (had the vibe of 'The Village', anyone remember that film?) except it wasn't all a lie and there were actually monsters trying to get in, and- *SPOILER* they do get in. Chaos ensues for a little while, (which was mildly interesting) but I feel for a zombie book, there wasn't nearly enough action.
I invested little in the characters and didn't really didn't feel anything for any of them.

I really struggled to connect with this book and am sad to say I didn't finish it.
