Excerpt: “What do you do if you think you might actually be the enemy, the one that everyone is REALLY afraid of? Zombies are....they're zombies. There is only so much variety to them and they all do the same thing: kill and eat living people. But living people have so many different motives, different reasons for continuing on, different reasons for LIVING. They aren't always predictable. No, they’re NEVER predictable.”
The 692nd account of The Outbreak, beginning approximately two years after its start. This record provides insight into the survival tactics of a solitary woman in a period of great danger, both from those-that-were and fellow man. Of note are her satirical writing style and deep mistrust of humans. Footnotes are provided to help readers unfamiliar with pre-Outbreak terminology.

My Review:
I give this book a 5 out of 5.
I'll be the first one to say that I'm a sucker for anything zombie related. I love all things zombie. I will pick up and read or watch anything that even HINTS at zombies.
This is not your typical zombie book. This is a first hand journal by a young woman named Karen who has survived for two years by herself, as presented by a museum from a couple centuries in the future. Karen does not spend a lot of time writing about her encounters with the zombies - instead she typically states "I killed x number of zombies today"; or something along those lines. You get to watch as she is suspicious of everyone she meets and keeps longing to find her long lost boyfriend, Nick. Slowly it's a descent into a kind of madness that only another survivor, named Ron, can bring her out of. The journal ends almost abruptly, leaving the reader to wonder if she just stopped writing in it, had to leave it behind as they took off in a hurry, or died.
All in all an excellent book. I would love to read more "exhibits", and definitely will be watching for more books from this author!
