An amazing journey

So much is done right in this book! The atmosphere is great. The situations are nerve wracking, and the story is phenomenal! I love the different plot points that interconnect and the race towards time against the typhoon makes the reader at the edge of your seat! Overall really good!

first book in the series I've read..

and I really enjoyed this! I'm so glad they are expanding on the WD world. This story, completely original, really stands up against his other work. I really look forward to more books outside the main comic storyline.

Love the walking dead? You will enjoy this.

Hard to get into at first. Lots of chinese but eventually couldn't put it down.

interesting additional to the WDU

Been a fan of Wesley Chu since I read his first the Two series a couple years back. Since then, he's continued to expand the Quasing universe and introduced us into time tracker scavenging. so when I saw he wrote a book base in the WD universe, I knew I had to get it.

Overall, I think this was a solid addition to the series, filled with vivid characters and an interesting geographical location. Like all of the previous books I've read in Chu's collection, once I started this one, I didn't want to put it down. I wouldn't mind a few more books from him in this universe, but please let the Living Revolution stay dead.

Good BOOK

Good Story With A New Take on The Zombie Outbreak franchise. interesting to see how the Chinese would look at this event and how things unfold

Foriegn Exchange Sweethearts In Hell

This *might* have made a good short story. As a novel, it could have possibly been "OK" if an actual EDITOR had redlined American Pop Culture slang like "Monologuing." This book really falls apart in the last chapters. There are serious continuity issues with the narration. As long as the characters are fighting zombies it doesn't matter... when they are doing anything else they are a group of College Age Adults with absolutely no adult emotions or drives or desires stuck in a sterile, sanitized cartoon of Mao's China. The setting in China was the only reason I bought this book. There was SO MUCH that could be done with the Walking Dead world in China. It wasn't even interesting (the setting) after the first couple chapters. *** One guy has air conditioning.... I consider that a flaw. *** *** At one point, the female lead character goes off and is comforted by reading her King James Bible she brought from America. I can't remember if this is before or after she murders monks. This subject is never mentioned again. I consider this a flaw. *** Both of those flaws could have been redlined and removed in a re-write. I just can't write a review without pointing these two issues out. Someone should have told the author NO.

If you like precocious children (that is how the main characters appear) who kill without batting an eye but have no sexual urges... If you like these kids fighting zombies and living in metal shipping containers in China... If you like a narration point of view that uses American slang and stilted prose mixed with some words of Mandarin Chinese.... If you don't mind that the word Cantonese was never used in the entire book... No drugs, no sex, virtually no adult language, no sexual situations, and virtually no mention of alcohol. If it were not for the zombies, it would be a pretty nice world. If you like all that, then this book is for you.

QUESTIONS: Does this mean I just read a book for Young Adults? Does that mean I waited for and then bought with anticipation a book written for a 13 year old? If so, was that not made clear? Why sell a product to the wrong audience and have it returned? When did Simon and Shuster start publishing stuff like this? I thought they had editors.
