I'm a huge fan of zombie movies so dove into this book with great enthusiasm. It started strong, but a little after the halfway point it began to falter.

The beginning was great... a deadly virus appears in Africa and the international community does its best to quarantine the entire continent. This was great stuff...

But once the focus turned to the general and his rag-tag group of survivors making their way east to America, with an entirely superfluous stop in the Phillipines, I began to lose interest. I was hoping for more "big picture" stuff that outlined the extent of the zombie apocalypse. But instead, the book focused on the general and a few victims of a mysterious government agency on the hunt for answers, leaving me pretty much in the dark as to how bad things were across the world.

The set-up was great but the ending was a bit disappointing.   [Delete review]
