Zombie Apocalypse! is set in a time when the pride of Britain has withered and needs to be restored and so the New Festival of Britain is announced and excavations begin.
With those excavations, however, come consequences. As the builders open a tomb which contains the corpses of victims of a previous plagues they let the disease into the air, thus spreading it.
Told through a series of diary entries, letters, blogs and videos we're shown how the disease spreads and infects the planet.
Despite being very standard to the zombie genre, Zombie Apocalypse! is a decent book and another written in a style I've not read before. On the odd occasion it travels slowly, lacking much of interest, but it soon catches up.
For the first book on the RIP challenge this was a good one receiving a total rating on 4/5
I'm glad you enjoyed your first R.I.P. read even if it had a few slow moments. I haven't read any of the zombie books that have come into popularity over the last few years and I really should. I always enjoy zombie movies.
ReplyDeleteI am glad this book worked out so well!
ReplyDeleteWe saw "How to Survive a Zombie Apocalypse" at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival--so much fun! I'll add this book to my list.
ReplyDeleteI'm reading another zombie mash-up right now, but it is a little slow.
