indiana_j2. Dead of Night by Jonathan Maberry (Kindle)
Here's an interesting bit of information for you and one of the reasons that I picked up the book in the first place. My dad and Maberry were in high school together and had a number of classes together. My dad mentioned him one day and I saw that he'd put out a few horror books, so I picked a Kindle version of one.
The book is pretty good and I'd say ranked against other zombie books, it comes in above the middle - not in the same realm as Feed but still pretty good. The characters aren't always likeable, which is a good and bad thing, and he had an interesting take on how the infection came about and why it was released in the first place. I did find myself lagging during the middle bits and just wanting to get to the end but overall it kept my attention.
I think my biggest thing really ended up being that I wished he'd expounded on some parts of the whole zombie idea thing and left off on some of the others.
(I really need to do a catch up post. I had a great time out with Lauren last night and tonight I'm feeling a little under the weather thanks to the dinner I had out with the parents. That'll pass but I think it'll pass thanks to me napping ...)
