I liked it, CW is an amazing writer, but the narrative jumps around a lot and it was hard to keep pace. Intentional, I’m sure, but be forewarned. Also, prose is pretty dense for a zombie novel. Lost forward momentum a few times but worth the slog.

While the writing style did sometimes take me out of the book, Zone One was a fascinating book and a fresh and interesting take on zombies!
