I guess this is what gives depth and appeal to well written books of any genre, without good human drama, it's just action. bookspersonallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05776600422633283514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3749031091155130228.post-86068155989448636792012-12-05T20:03:53.870-08:002012-12-05T20:03:53.870-08:00I'm sorry but I just don't get the whole z...I'm sorry but I just don't get the whole zombie thing. This type of zombie book is a little more acceptable but I still don't get it.

Was it too much, just enough or was it another vehicle for social satire? I'll think on it for a while.Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07998996750944114185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3749031091155130228.post-12744678936996319442012-12-05T15:26:27.111-08:002012-12-05T15:26:27.111-08:00This is certainly a popular genre these days!
I t...This is certainly a popular genre these days!<br /><br />I think that the pop culture references could go two ways. They can be annoying or if dome correctly can add spice and/or humor to the book like this.<br /><br />Though it has been a very a very long time since I read it, I remember Stephen King's Pet Cemetery to be full of Rock music references that I really appreciated.Brian Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15139559400312336791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3749031091155130228.post-59271295397536826992012-12-05T07:10:28.515-08:002012-12-05T07:10:28.515-08:00Hi,

Sounds like one that I would like. I like seeing how the world being over run by zombies changes people in different ways. You are right these books are about the psychology of the people with some blood and guts thrown in for good measure.<br />Cheers<br />j9books.blogspot.comBlood Rose Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01131354776661982287noreply@blogger.com
