Sick

There. I said it. I'm so tired of zombies, everywhere I look.But, when one of my favorite authors writes a book featuring the undead, I'll give it a glance. And, I'm glad I did.Now, it's not fresh in my mind, because I read this years ago and at the time I was too shy to post a review for it. But I'll never forget picking this up one October day in Phoenix and getting chills just from the first few chapters. The book felt too real, too plausible, and any of those characters could have been people I knew when I was in school.That eerie feeling never went away. I was captivated and couldn't put the book down of my own free will. I had to know. Which characters would live? Which would die? HOW were they all about to meet a gruesome end?I didn't particularly like all the characters, but I still felt for them. They did dumb, teenage things without being stupid or feeling like the author is being condescending about youngsters. The tragic potential being cut down in the later pages is felt viscerally with brilliant use of language, graphic where it needs to be, sparse and terse when it needs to be.I'd absolutely recommend this to anyone who likes zombies and suspense. It's not my usual cup of tea, but I don't regret the hours I spent in this world.

You know it is a good book when you have read it more than 4 times. I really enjoy the character development of the story as the high schoolers have to change to meet the demands put on them by the outbreak. I want more of this story!! A prequel, a sequel a threequel... Wait is that even a word. Doesn't matter. This is one of my favorite Zombie books that is not zombies. If you even remotely like the undead or things that resemble them then pick up this book. You will not regret it!

I LOVE IT

A good book, I'm not a fan of zombie themed books. Nor do I have any experience reading them, I picked this book out of a friend's recommendation to change my usual reading pattern. There is nothing new in here, if you have seen 1 zombie movie before you already know half of the story. Nontheless, I did find interesting the explanation behind the sickness.

Gift for my daughter.

I LOVE every part of this book. it has the perfect combination of fiction and REAL LIFE! Tom Leveen has done it again. I recommend it to everyone i know.- Bailey Hall

I read this in one sitting and it was a quick moving book. It throws you into the action right up until the end. I will most definitely read again.

This is fantastically written. The progression is intense but didn't feel forced. I loved these characters and recognized legitimate change and growth brought on by the circumstances. Not a standard zombie novel, which I loved.

good book
